On July 1, 2024, citizens participating in the recall petition raised banners calling for recalling Keelung City Mayor Xie Guoliang. The citizen group 'Shanhai Citizen Demolition Action' initiated the recall movement, and the second phase of signature collection has exceeded the threshold, with the official count now surpassing 40,000. The group criticized the Blue and White camp for alleged 'plagiarism and falsification,' labeling it a severe disrespect and smear against the people of Keelung. The group plans to submit the signatures to the Keelung Electoral Commission on July 5 after compiling and numbering. In response to recent accusations of signature fraud by Kuomintang Chairman Eric Chu and People's Party Chairman Ko Wen-je, the group argued that such remarks only highlighted the vast disconnect between them and the people. They emphasized the stringent procedures during the signature collection process, dismissing claims of signatures being copied and stressing the need for genuine engagement from all citizens.
