TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Two Kuomintang legislators will face recall votes on Aug. 23 in a second round scheduled by the Central Election Commission, reports said Wednesday.

A first round of recalls is set for July 26 for 24 KMT lawmakers and the suspended former Taiwan People’s Party mayor of Hsinchu, Kao Hung-an (高虹安). Campaigns targeting five other KMT legislators have not yet been completed, as the election commission received additional materials needing review before reaching a decision, per CNA.

The two lawmakers facing recall votes on Aug. 23 are Ma Wen-chun (馬文君) and Yu Hao (游顥), each representing different Nantou districts. Each recall vote will be preceded by 10 days during which campaigners can present opinions on television concerning recalls.

A national referendum will also take place on Aug. 23 over restarting the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant in Pingtung, the Liberty Times reported. 

Recall campaigners and supporters of the DPP favor recall efforts, accusing the KMT of leaning too far toward China and hampering efforts to strengthen Taiwan’s defenses. The KMT accuses the government of trying to suppress the opposition.

Attempts by the KMT to recall DPP legislators were marred by indictments for fraud, with local KMT officials facing detention and legal charges. At the present Legislative Yuan, the KMT is the largest party with 52 seats, while the DPP holds 51 and the TPP eight seats.
