Frozen Garlic

It has been a long time since I’ve written anything on this blog.

Last week, the Taipei District Court issued a ruling former Taipei Mayor, TPP Chair, and Presidential Candidate Ko Wen-je 柯文哲 guilty of corruption in the Core Pacific City real estate development case, sentencing him to 17 years in prison.

Remember when we all assumed the Constitutional Court was frozen?

For all the hand-wringing about the controversial recall efforts in early 2025, there was never any question about their legality.

Voting for the 24 recalls was held Saturday, and they resulted in an unambiguous victory for the KMT.

Here is a podcast and a webinar that I’ve done recently.

The Central Election Commission has announced the number of eligible voters in each district facing a recall as well as the 25% threshold needed for a recall to pass.

I’ve been meaning to write about the polling results and the recalls, but I didn’t get around to it in time.

Last week the central election Commission announced that 24 recalls will be held on July 26.

The deadlines for recall campaigns against 7 more DPP legislators have now come and gone, and none of them have been able to submit the requisite number of petitions.
