On July 8, 2024, the group dismantling Liang's administration sent the second phase of 43,000 signatures to the local election commission, only to have them sent back due to similar handwriting. The group later resubmitted the documents, clarifying that they were not rejected by the commission but rather not processed the previous time. The group had to resend the petition before the deadline, and it was speculated that some elderly individuals had assistance in filling out their information but were required to personally sign or stamp their signatures. The situation intensified as the city mayor appeared at temples for events and allocated funds for religious activities, sparking accusations of trying to prevent his recall amidst the ongoing recall movement.
