Odd Parliament Redesigns New Premier after Enacting No-Confidence Motion: Protests from Opposing Party

Reported 6 months ago

Huang Jianhao criticized the peculiar process design outlined in the constitution for appointing a new premier after a no-confidence motion. The opposition party hopes the Executive Yuan does not rush the motion and that the premier takes political responsibility for proposing the motion. The Legislative Yuan, however, may face another voting battle regarding the motion, as the ruling party calls on opposition lawmakers to support it. Despite concerns that the motion may not pass, Premier Su Zhenchang is unlikely to resign, as even if the motion fails, President Lai Ching might re-nominate Su. The situation may strain government dynamics. A Nationalist Party legislator mentioned the constitutional design being perplexing, with the president able to dissolve parliament if a motion of no-confidence is initiated by the Legislative Yuan, yet maintaining the authority to reappoint the premier post-new elections, highlighting the skewed political mechanism.
