Taiwan holds first recall vote to oust 24 KMT lawmakers, potentially shifting legislative control to the DPP.

Taiwan faces a significant political shift as it holds its first mass recall vote on July 26, targeting 24 lawmakers from the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party. Backed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the recall could give the DPP a majority in the legislature, currently controlled by the KMT and Taiwan People's Party (TPP). Supporters argue the recall is necessary to remove what they see as "pro-China" politicians, while the KMT views it as a power grab. The outcome could impact Taiwan's relations with the US and China, affecting military funding and defense policies.
