Citizens' group initiated a recall motion against Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang on July 1, 2024, with the second-phase of the petition surpassing the threshold, awaiting review by the Keelung City Election Commission and the Central Election Commission. Psychiatrist Shen Zhengnan expressed concerns that if the recall of Xie Guoliang fails, President Lai Ching-te understands this is a bad omen for his reelection in 2028; he also urged the People's Party that beyond a Blue-White coalition, there is no better path for 2026 and 2028. Shen added that if Xie Guoliang is not recalled, it could be a significant blow to Lai Ching-te's 2028 reelection prospects.
