The KMT has made a major shift in its stance and plans to not raise the recall threshold, focusing instead on improving the recall petition system under the 'Public Officials Election and Recall Law' amendment. The Legislative Yuan's Internal Administration Committee held a review today on the amendment, with discussions on including provisions such as not allowing recalls for officials serving less than one year, requiring recall votes to exceed the official's election votes, and imposing penalties for false petitioning. The KMT's decision comes after facing challenges in gaining support and the threat of a potential defeat in the committee, as the DPP and some opposition members may oppose the proposed changes.
