On July 5, 2024, DPP announced that a party leadership election, including the central standing committee, will be held on July 21. However, the faction in the parliament, the Parliament's Progressive Party, decided to expel Legislator Chen Ting-fei for running against the decision of the decision-making committee. Following the expulsion, Chen Ting-fei expressed confusion over how participating in party affairs and assisting in national development has turned into a conflict. The decision to expel her was made after a two-hour meeting led by Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and DPP Secretary-General Lin Yu-chang. Chen Ting-fei, who aims to run for the Tainan mayoral election, insisted on running for the central standing committee to secure a primary, prompting her expulsion. Following the decision, Chen Ting-fei stated that her insistence on running was to contribute more to party affairs and support Chairman Lai in national development initiatives, expressing regret over the conflict arising from this. The expulsion of Chen Ting-fei is also speculated to be related to Chairman Lai's stance. Additionally, the Parliament's Progressive Party also expelled Taipei City Councilor Chen Yi-chun and Taichung City Councilor Ho Wen-hai, potentially cutting off two seats of the central standing committee's power.
