no. the guy incurred the wrath of the voters in his district, so they wanna kick him out aka pushed for a recall.
but according to the recall rules iirc, they must hit 25% of total voters and the recall side must have more votes than opposition.
the req votes ish 58k. the recall supporters, thou more votes than the opposition, didnt hit 58k.
so the guy gets to stay on instead of kena removed.
Actually that district he ish in ish known to have more blue camp than green. In this boycott erection beside needing the boycott votes to be more than the non-boycott votes, it also need to hit a minimal total votes (not a taiwanese not sure, read some taiwanese said ish 25% but some said ish 40%) to make the boycott motion went through, that why KMT had an advantage in this kind of boycott erection when their blue base supporters ish more than the green supporters.
But this doesn't mean majority in that district hate the guy, it just mean that there are more blue than green. And a lot of voters are in neither camp and they view this kind of boycott as nuisance and just political game between the two camp nia so most of the neutral voters choose not to get involved. This same sentiment can be observed in their civil votes too, majority of the neutral group choose not to vote so it end up only a competition between blue and green camp nia. This doesn't mean the neutral voters agree or disagree with either side, they just find this kind of $hit ish a nuisance and not worth wasting their time to go vote.
That why KMT ish assume to be bigger losers for doing this kind of nuisance boycott as win or lose their image as troublemaker ish nao imprinted into many of the neutral voters for backing all this nuisance boycott voting.
So It ish the neutral voters that really matter in a real erection, in average the green camp supporters ish around 28~30% of taiwanese, blue ish around 18~20%, white ish around 10%. So in most cities the one who decide who win ish usually the neutral camp that control the remaining 30~40% of the votes, but these neutral normally only come out to vote in an actual erection, not this kind of petty revenge boycott nuisances by blue camp to waste time.
