How both sides respond could determine the fate of Taiwan\u2019s democracy.\nBy Raymond Kuo\nJuly 2025\nTaiwan held a massive recall vote on July 26, threatening to remove 24 opposition Kuomintang (KMT) politicians from the legislature. This would have endangered the party\u2019s combined majority with the Taiwan People\u2019s Party (TPP), possibly returning Taiwan to unified government under the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).\nBut surprisingly, all the recalls failed. Only in seven did the \u201cyes to recall\u201d vote even exceed the necessary threshold for the measure to pass, and nine KMT incumbents actually gained votes compared with their 2024 election tallies. The DPP\u2019s secretary-general submitted his resignation, and the opposition parties have trumpeted the outcome as a \u201cstrategic milestone\u201d for their efforts to curtail the administration of President William Lai, who was elected in 2024.\nBut the recall saga \u2014 and how Taiwan got there \u2014 portends long-term, structural threats to the country\u2019s democracy. Functioning democracies require forbearance; parties refrain from using all legal or institutional prerogatives for political gain, as they damage the wider political system. Instead, Taiwan\u2019s opposition parties have played constitutional hardball for the past year and a half.\nKMT and TPP legislators passed controversial reforms in an attempt to seize powers from the executive and judiciary. Taiwan\u2019s constitutional court struck down most of those measures. The legislature then voted down new appointees to that court and raised the quorum of justices required to hear a case, in effect preventing it from legally operating. This all came in the midst of a budget battle that slashed funding along partisan lines, setting the DPP government up for failure. The KMT and TPP parties also attempted to shift budgetary control to local-level governments, where they hold a majority of county and city leadership positions.\nAny lingering Pollyanna beliefs among voters that \u201ceveryone won\u201d the 2024 election gave way to a realization that Taiwan has few institutional means to resolve competing executive and legislative prerogatives within divided government. The parties were effectively stuck with each other until the next national elections in 2028. Ongoing gridlock, however, threatened government functions, even as Taiwan needs to demonstrate resolve to Beijing and Washington, respectively.\nSo Taiwan\u2019s vibrant civil society tried to force a resolution through widespread recall efforts, which failed on Saturday.\nThe campaign revealed two potential threats to Taiwan\u2019s democracy. The first threat is that the campaign itself may set a worrying precedent. If recalls become normalized, electoral losers will simply wait a year (due to procedural restrictions) and launch a campaign. Elected officials would have only that year to govern, while their opponents have every incentive to obstruct the government\u2019s agenda. In effect, each candidate would have to win two elections, with the second (recall) having a higher bar than the first. Good governance would struggle to survive in this environment.\nThe second threat depends on what legislative measures the opposition parties adopt in response to this campaign. Taiwanese commentators have already suggested that those parties will raise the recall thresholds, making recalls much harder in the future.\nHowever, the KMT and TPP could also attack the societal foundations for recalls: Civil society organizations and grassroots movements. The DPP has long enjoyed deeper relationships with Taiwan\u2019s civil society, having itself been born from democracy NGOs. Recent mass-mobilization efforts \u2014 the Sunflower movement, the Bluebird movement \u2014 have risen to support Green-leaning policies and initiatives.\nThe opposition parties could opt to better appeal to civil society, and the KMT seems to have run an effective ground game. But it is equally possible that they will seek out ways to inhibit the influence of NGOs. This could include partisan investigations, challenges to organizations\u2019 NGO tax status, accusations of foreign influence, or other measures restricting civic participation. Indeed, opposition legislators have already tried this tactic against one prominent civil-defense NGO.\nIf successful, such strategies could mitigate the opposition parties\u2019 weakness, but they would simultaneously reduce the accountability and representativeness of Taiwan\u2019s political institutions. Taiwan\u2019s party system has already shown worrying \u2014 though not yet widespread \u2014 cracks. These include the spread of conspiracy theories, more than a thousand dead people \u201csigning\u201d recall petitions, mutual accusations of authoritarianism despite multiple independent organizations rating Taiwan as among the most democratic and free countries globally, and even a shameful Nazi display.\nIf Taiwan\u2019s democracy isn\u2019t to be the ultimate loser in this fight, then the KMT and TPP must engage in serious structural reform. Healthy democracies require strong (center-right) parties to both offer loyal opposition and serve as a bulwark against extremism. Strong parties have deep and often formal links with their members and broader society. They ingest public and expert opinion to derive policies under a coherent platform, then advance that agenda in the legislature. They must cultivate and train generations of political leaders. All this points to a need for strong organization, empowered leadership, and comprehensive policy-development processes.\nUnfortunately, neither the KMT nor the TPP approach this archetype. Political polarization, thermostatic opinion, and a (mostly) first-past-the-post electoral system allow them to win elections. But these parties are institutionally weak, unable to perform many of the representative, policy, and accountability functions that only parties can provide. Instead, they have leaned into polarizing rhetoric, negative campaigning, and (literal) legislative fights to obstruct, rather than trying to advance their own political agenda.\nOther countries can help Taiwan\u2019s opposition parties break this pattern. The National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute shared best practices on crafting legislative strategies, cultivating members and new leaders, and establishing policymaking processes through party strengthening and development programs. The Party Internationals can facilitate exchange with ideologically like-minded parties and NGOs. Party-affiliated and independent foundations can provide similar support, as well as broadening society-to-society contacts.\nIn Taiwan\u2019s ongoing conflict with China, democracy is a critical strategic advantage that needs preservation and strengthening. Democracies disproportionately win the wars they fight, can better mobilize resources for conflicts, and fight harder for victory. The vibrancy and responsiveness of Taiwan\u2019s democracy enhance its resistance to Chinese and other foreign influence and disinformation campaigns. Democracy is also intimately linked to the Taiwanese sense of national identity, one of the strongest predictors of whether a country can survive (or even resurrect itself from) a conquest attempt.\nThe DPP clearly has some soul-searching to do. But it is critical for Taiwan to understand where the recall campaign came from and avoid over-correcting in a way that damages its hard-won democracy. Despite accusations of authoritarianism, the recall campaign was Taiwan\u2019s political system working. Recalls provide a critical safety valve in presidential systems, which otherwise divorce political support from institutional authority. Rather than dismantling or restricting this tool, the KMT and TPP should engage in organizational strengthening to provide Taiwan with a strong, cohesive, and loyal opposition.\nRaymond Kuo is the director of RAND\u2019s Taiwan Policy Initiative and a senior political scientist at RAND. He is an expert in international security, international order, and East Asia.\n\u00a0\nCopyright \u00a9 2025 National Endowment for Democracy\nImage credit: I-Hwa Cheng\/AFP via Getty Images\n\u00a0\nFURTHER READING\nJANUARY 2024\nWhy Taiwan\u2019s Voters Defied Beijing \u2014 Again\nRaymond Kuo\nTaiwan\u2019s voters rewarded the ruling party with an unprecedented third consecutive term, despite the mainland\u2019s attempts to intimidate.
