By Ann Maxon / Staff reporterWecare Kaohsiung and other groups are pressing ahead with their efforts to recall Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), despite his loss in the presidential election and Han’s pledge on Wednesday to work hard for the city’s residents. A total of 1,030 residents were interviewed on Monday and Tuesday and 53 percent said they support the campaign to recall Han, while 32 percent said they do not. Several civil groups last month submitted 30,000 petition papers to the Central Election Commission in a bid to launch a recall vote on Han. If they succeed, a recall vote could be held in May or June. Now that Han has returned to Kaohsiung, the recall campaign is something he must face, Chen said.
