The KMT's Response to the Result of the Recall Vote in Kaohsiung City

The KMT's Response to the Result of the Recall Vote in Kaohsiung City

June 6, 2020

The Kuomingtang (KMT) expresses its regret about the Kaohsiung City citizens' decision to recall incumbent Mayor Han Kuo-yu, a KMT member, on June 6. The expectations of the voters have apparently surpassed the endless effort made by the Kaohsiung City Government, and the KMT and Mayor Han have failed to meet the demands of these citizens who once felt very much dissatisfied with the performance of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the City. The KMT and Mayor Han sincerely provide an apology and convey their gratitude to the citizens of the Kaohsiung City who gave the Party a chance in 2018 to help Kaohsiung City move forward.

Chairman Johnny Chiang of the KMT states firmly that the Party – opposed to communism and aimed at building a democratic, free, prosperous and united country – and its members have always put Taiwan first for the benefit of the people. He vows to regain the trust of the Kaohsiung City citizens with the Party and strengthen the Party's work in the City immediately.

At the same time, Chairman Chiang disapproves of the obvious inappropriate involvement and political manipulation of the DPP, the ruling party of the Republic of China (Taiwan), in this recall vote. He feels worried that this has impacted in a negatively profound way Taiwan's democratic institution and possible bipartisan cooperation in critical issues concerning the future of Taiwan.
