TAIPEI - A high-profile mayor from Taiwan’s main opposition party lost an acrimonious recall vote on Saturday, auguring new problems for the party that is already reeling from losing January elections on the back of strong anti-China sentiment.
The KMT’s presidential candidate, Han Kuo-yu, had won the mayorship of the southern city of Kaohsiung in late 2018, an upset given it had previously been a stronghold for Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party . KMT Chairman Chiang said the party respected the result, and expressed “remorse” it went against them.
Taiwan’s election commission still has to formally approve the decision, expected to take a week. Once it does, Han will be dismissed and a new mayoral election will be called within three months, in which he cannot run.
