In the Legislative Yuan's Internal Administration Committee, a revised version of the 'Recall Law for Public Officials' was up for review on Thursday, with reports that the Kuomintang was considering raising the recall threshold. However, after opposition from the People's Party's committee member Mai Yu-chen, Thursday's legislative battle became uncertain. A notice was suddenly issued to review the Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wu Ping-rui's version of the 'Recall Law' on Thursday, requiring recall proposal and signatures to include the 'issue date' of the ID card, with penalties for false proposals. The discussion around raising the recall threshold leads to varying opinions among the parties, with former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je opposing it and advocating for a stricter signature process. Thursday's outcome in the committee remains unpredictable, with debate revolving around the effectiveness and fairness of the current recall system.
