Date of last update: 2020-06-06 17:23Kaohsiung Mayor Korea Yu’s dismissal case has had results. According to the figures of the Election Committee, the number of agreed votes has exceeded 570,000 and the number of disagreed votes is less than 20,000. As of around 5 pm, the number of agreed votes was as high as 651.7162 million votes, while the number of disagreed votes was only 18.118 million votes.
Since the number of votes for consent is greater than the number of votes for disagreement, and has exceeded the threshold of 570,000 votes, after the defeat of the presidential election in Taiwan, South Korea Yu will now lose the position of mayor of Kaohsiung, becoming the first in Taiwan’s history to be successfully removed Mayor.

After the removal of South Korea’s Yu was passed, the Central Election Commission officially announced the voting results within one week, and South Korea’s Yu will be officially dismissed. Kaohsiung City will also conduct a by-election within three months.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time Korea Yu was dismissed, but it was the first time he was successfully dismissed. In 1994, four Kuomintang-based Taipei County legislators, including South Korea’s Yu, were dismissed by anti-nuclear groups because they were in favor of the construction of Nuclear Fourth (Longmen Nuclear Power Plant). According to the provisions of the Election Removal Law at that time, a recall case must be approved by more than one-half of the electorate and more than one-half the number of votes. Since the voting rate of 21.36% did not meet the threshold at that time, the removal of South Korea Yu and others failed.
