The "main culprit" Fu Kunqi, who is seen as a thorn in the eye of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has officially failed in the recall vote! In the end, there were 48,969 votes in favor of recalling Fu Kunqi and 65,330 votes against the recall! After the voting results were announced, Fu Kunqi expressed his gratitude to all the people of Hualien and volunteer partners. He expressed regret for the disturbance caused to the people of Hualien, but he stated that the people of Hualien have proven that when pressure from the "whole country" was placed on Hualien, the people of Hualien used unity and justice, and their sense of mission towards the nation and love for their hometown, to prove that there is still fairness in Taiwan.

Fu Kunqi said he hopes that after today, the political persecution and judicial suppression that has lasted over a year can come to an end. He also addressed Lai Ching-te, saying that with the pressure of the global economy and the tension in cross-strait relations, he hopes Lai will be free of personal interests and open-mindedly sit down with the opposition to discuss the well-being of the people. Obviously, the failure of the DPP's recall of Fu Kunqi is a major setback for Lai Ching-te. This means that in the next three years, Fu Kunqi will continue to firmly serve as the head of the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Legislative Yuan, continuing to fight with the DPP in the Legislative Yuan.

In fact, the failure to recall Fu Kunqi means that the recalls of the other 23 KMT legislators have basically failed as well. Lai Ching-te was clearly hit back by the KMT with a 24:0 result. In addition to Fu Kunqi, the recall of Xu Qiaoxin, who is deeply hated by Cao Xingcheng, has also officially failed. The facts show that Lai Ching-te's provocative style has caused chaos in the island, triggering collective anger among the local residents. The people of the island hope to live a normal life, not to be constantly involved in fierce confrontations. The KMT has carried out a brilliant defense battle.
