Taiwan: More on upcoming recall election against Taiwan Statebuilding Party member

The recall election against Taiwan Legislator Chen Po-Wei (pro-independence Taiwan Statebuilding Party) is heating up before the October 23 vote. The KMT is supporting the recall and has made it an issue in the ongoing difficulties with China. This is also seen as part of a "revenge recalls" over the ouster of Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-Yuto.

A vote would require 25% turnout (72,281) to succeed (as well as actually winning that vote). 

Chen is the first member of his party to win a seat, beating a local dynasty in 2020.
