DPP urges Kaohsiung residents to voteDEMOCRACY IN ACTION: The resolution urges everyone to exercise their right to vote, which is the best expression of civil rights and enshrined in the ConstitutionBy Yang Chun-hui / Staff reporterThe Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Central Standing Committee yesterday unanimously passed a resolution urging Kaohsiung voters to exercise their right to vote in Saturday’s recall election of Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜). Regardless of whether they support or oppose the recall, Kaohsiung residents should vote this weekend, the resolution says. Thanks to the hard work of Kaohsiung’s residents, a recall proposal surpassed a signature threshold and led to the first-ever recall vote of a mayor or county commissioner, it says. All Kaohsiung residents should vote, regardless of the outcome they support, so that they can express their opinion, he said. Asked to which side he is inclined to vote, Chen said that the opinions of the city’s residents should be respected.
