Lai's political gamble backfires as DPP's 'recall campaign' crumbles

In a clear expression of public disapproval, all 24 opposition Kuomintang legislators targeted by a Democratic Progressive Party's "recall campaign" retained their seats on Saturday, and the DPP's attempt to remove a non-DPP mayor also failed.

The failure of the campaign underscores the growing dissatisfaction with the DPP's confrontational tactics and reaffirms that its "Taiwan independence" agenda is both unpopular and unsustainable.

The sweeping failure of the DPP's "mass recall campaign" dealt a heavy blow to the island's regional leader Lai Ching-te and exposed how the DPP's political manipulation — driven by separatist ambitions and desire for a political monopoly — runs counter to the will of the people.
