The Great Recall Movement involved an effort to organize recall votes against all KMT legislators, something that had never been attempted before in Taiwanese history. The Great Recall Movement was organized by Taiwanese civil society groups, albeit with the evident support of the DPP. Rumors suggest that two-thirds of DPP legislators intend to sign a petition calling for Ker’s resignation. Rumors suggested that former Taichung mayor Jason Hu might become party chair in Lu’s place, though Hu denied this, and his health issues suggest otherwise. That dynamic was what led to the rise of Hung Hsiu-chu as a starkly deep Blue party chair in 2016.
