The Taiwan Legislative Yuan has initiated the impeachment process against Lai Ching-te, and plans to hold a vote in May next year.

The Legislative Yuan of the Taiwan authorities passed the procedure to initiate an impeachment motion against Lai Ching-te today, with the Kuomintang and the People First Party leveraging their numerical advantage. A schedule was set, deciding to conduct a named vote on May 19 next year during the plenary session. This move originated from Premier Zhuo Rongtai's announcement that he would not endorse the "Fiscal Revenue Division Act," prompting the opposition to submit an impeachment motion. According to the resolution, the impeachment motion will first be sent to the full committee for public hearings, review sessions, and hearings, and Lai will be invited to explain. Legislators from the Democratic Progressive Party criticized the opposition for politicizing the impeachment, emphasizing that their seats did not meet the required two-thirds threshold, making the impeachment difficult to establish.
