Taiwanese voters have overwhelmingly rejected a mass recall campaign aimed at ousting 24 opposition lawmakers from the China-friendly Kuomintang (KMT) party. The failed recall, backed by President Lai Ching-te's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was seen as an attempt to break the current political deadlock and shift the balance of power in the legislature. The result is a significant setback for the DPP and President Lai, as the opposition retains its legislative majority. The campaign and its outcome have further polarized Taiwan's political landscape, raising concerns about democratic legitimacy and external interference from China. Observers urge political compromise to prevent further instability and polarization.
