On June 18, 2024, the Recall Hou Self-Help Group disclosed the reasons for ending their action in a public letter. The movement, initiated by the public to recall the New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih, came to a sudden halt in May. The group accused former member Wang Zhi-wen of refusing to return over 18,000 petition forms, thus impeding the recall. Members of the self-help group filed a report against Wang Zhi-wen for misappropriation and violating laws related to impeding a recall. The incident began when Mayor Hou, representing the Kuomintang, failed in his presidential bid, prompting a public effort to recall him. This summary highlights the key events leading to the termination of the movement and the subsequent legal actions taken by the group members.
