Legislative hearings on the amendment of the 'Election and Recall Law' will be held next week by the Legislative Yuan, with the Internal Affairs Committee also reviewing related drafts. However, due to opposition from the DPP and People First Party, the KMT, which does not hold a majority of seats in parliament, may face difficulties in promoting the reform independently. KMT Legislator Lin Pei-hsiang expressed that the current recall threshold is too low, making it susceptible to becoming a tool for mobilizing hatred, which may not be beneficial. Lin emphasized the importance of improving the system to prevent repeated hate mobilization and ensuring elected representatives focus on governance and public welfare issues. The KMT has proposed raising the recall threshold, citing disparities in the criteria for recalling a county mayor with 40% of votes versus a legislator with 60% of votes. The KMT aims to standardize recall criteria for all elected officials in Taiwan.
