Recall campaign against Hung Meng-kai reaches goal
2025-04-30
DPP lawmaker Lin Chun-hsien held a press conference Wednesday to mark the receipt of hundreds of recall petition signatures from overseas supporters. On the final stretch of the campaign, the civic group Taiwan Action has released an emotion-filled video, highlighting a mother’s quiet support for her daughter working on the campaign. Meanwhile, the recall effort against KMT legislator Hung Meng-kai has surpassed 50,000 signatures, reaching its goal ahead of schedule.
DPP Lawmaker Lin Chun-hsien on Wednesday morning held a presser in which recall petitions signed overseas were handed over to campaigners. Joining Lin were a professor and a volunteer working abroad who came to witness the historic moment.

Lawmaker (DPP)
Here we have 312 signatures brought in from overseas. Most of these 312 signatures were collected for Wang Hung-wei. She collected the most, at 52.
Lin said that these call to action overseas symbolized the democratic awakening of Taiwanese people around the world. Also on Wednesday, a civic group called Taiwan Action, released the 10th part of a video series about the recalls. This latest installment focuses on the women taking part.
In the video, a mother silently shows her support for her daughter, who is volunteering to collect signatures in the streets of Taiwan. Within one hour since it was posted, it had been watched 15,000 times, and garnered more than 2,000 likes. Recall campaigners are pushing hard in the final stretch to collect signatures. One that’s made significant progress recently is the one against KMT lawmaker Hung Meng-kai, who is a key target of the effort.
Fang Po-hsiang
Leader of recall campaign
I am thrilled and overjoyed to bring good news. We have reached a new milestone in the signature collection for the second part of the campaign. We have more than 50,000 signatures now. I would like to deeply thank everyone who has stood up and offered signatures for this campaign.
The campaign has reached its goal of securing the minimum number of signatures needed plus an additional 30%. The deadline to submit the signatures is May 12, meaning they reached their goal two weeks early. Hung, the target of the campaign said the following.
Hung Meng-kai
KMT lawmaker
All 35 lawmakers targeted by recalls were expecting this to happen once the campaigns reached the second stage. We’re all mentally prepared for it, and now it’s time to respond.
Things are set to heat up, as Hung says he’ll face the campaigns head-on.
