Facing a recall crisis, Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang is being supported by the Kuomintang (KMT) central party committee with the 'Strengthening Liang' campaign. As the second phase of the recall petition ends today, with over 36,000 signatures submitted, there is confidence that the threshold of 40,000 will be reached. The KMT has initiated actions to support Xie Guoliang, including scheduling a meeting with the city government and preparing to establish a task force in Keelung. The recall campaign was triggered by dissatisfaction with Xie's handling of the East Coast Mall dispute, with political differences exacerbating the situation. The KMT intends to mobilize local organizational resources and online campaigns in defense of Xie, while also considering collaboration with other factions to secure their electoral base.
