Taiwan Voters Throw China-Friendly Mayor Out of Office - WSJ

Saturday’s result made Mr. Han the first municipal leader and the highest-ranking elected official to be recalled in Taiwan’s history—a dramatic reversal in fortunes: Less than two years ago he clinched the mayorship, toppling Ms. Tsai’s ruling party in its political heartland and paving the way for his presidential run.

Great result in Taiwan. 🇹🇼

more than 939,000 Kaohsiung voters backed the recall motion, against only about 25,000 opposing.

Remarkable.

The number of votes supporting Mr. Han’s recall surpassed the roughly 893,000 votes he received in winning the Kaohsiung mayorship in late 2018.
