By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter, with CNATaipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), on Saturday said that the party’s rules for removing legislators-at-large only meet the lowest standards. The TPP won five legislator-at-large seats in the Jan. 11 elections, and is eligible to form a legislative caucus, which requires at least three legislators from the same party. The TPP on Saturday invited legislative watchdog Citizen’s Congress Watch (CCW) to educate the party’s five new legislators. The TPP, which was established by Ko in August last year, emerged as the country’s third-largest party after Saturday’s legislative elections. The New Power Party maintained its caucus with 1.1 million votes, or 7.8 percent of the political party vote, giving it three at-large seats.
