The Legislative Yuan is scheduled to vote on the impeachment case against President Lai Ching-te on May 19, initiated by opposition parties after Premier Cho Jung-tai refused to countersign a financial bill. DPP caucus whip Chuang Jui-hsiung dismissed the move as a 'political struggle' and boycotted the review sessions. However, he stated that DPP legislators will attend the final vote to strictly express their opposition by voting against the impeachment, which requires a two-thirds majority.
