TAICHUNG — Taiwan’s opposition Kuomintang faced no-confidence recall votes on Saturday, marking the climax of a broad social movement to unseat 24 of its lawmakers, the first batch of a total of 31 targeted for removal.
The campaign followed months of protests against the KMT-led legislature’s attempts to obstruct President Lai Ching-te’s administration, efforts that have affected government budgets, defense programs, the functioning of the Constitutional Court and key foreign policy initiatives.
