The Taiwan "Legislative Yuan" today agreed to hold a recorded vote on the impeachment motion against Lai Qingde on the morning of May 19, with voting lasting one hour. After the impeachment proceedings conclude, individual questioning will continue in the afternoon of the same day.
Regarding the hearing held on April 27, the DPP caucus has already stated it will not send representatives to attend. The public is closely watching whether DPP legislators will participate in the recorded vote on the impeachment case scheduled for May 19.
DPP caucus secretary-general Zhuang Ruixiong said that the opposition parties are treating this as a political stage show. Procedurally, the DPP caucus will not endorse it, nor will it cooperate with the opposition in staging this political farce.
Zhuang Ruixiong stated that what the DPP currently cares most about is accelerating the review of the overall budget bill and swiftly reaching a conclusion on the defense special ordinance draft. Therefore, regarding Kuomintang's political theatrics, they will not join in, nor will they play along. They will not attend the vote on May 19.
According to current seat distribution in the "Legislative Yuan," the KMT, together with independent legislators Chen Chao-ming and Gao Jin-sumei, holds 54 seats; the DPP has 51 seats, and the Taiwan People's Party holds 8 seats.
