All 24 Kuomintang lawmakers facing recall votes on July 26 have retained their seats in Taiwan's legislature. The mass recall movement, which began from civic groups and was supported by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, saw months of campaigning across Taiwan. With these results, the KMT retains their combined majority in the legislature, and the DPP will continue to be the minority in the legislature.
