TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Central Election Commission announced Wednesday that it had received confirmation from the Legislative Yuan that the lawmaker status of Li Chen-hsiu (李貞秀) has been revoked.
After the TPP revoked Li’s membership on Monday, the party notified the commission, per SETN. The CEC requested the legislature to revoke Li’s lawmaker status the same day and received official confirmation on Wednesday.
A commission insider said that although the CEC currently lacks a quorum to make formal decisions, it can still announce Li’s replacement and formally recognize it once a quorum is reached. The Cabinet has delayed appointing new commissioners due to what Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) described as deception by the opposition, preventing the commission from reaching quorum.
Following her expulsion from the TPP, Li continued to clash with senior party members, including Chair Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌). Li accused Huang of slander, alleging that he claimed she demanded monetary compensation after losing her lawmaker status, per PTS.
Li also accused Huang of bullying, saying her faith had sustained her through the dispute, per TTV. She said her opposition to Huang stemmed from concerns that he would steer the TPP away from former Chair Ko Wen-je (柯文哲). She added that Huang had asked party members to stop appearing in public with the “KP” logo and instead use one featuring Taiwan, per ETtoday.
Huang denied the accusations, saying Li had made false claims about him and other TPP members, per CMMedia. He urged her to respond to pundits who have questioned her qualifications as a lawmaker.
TPP Legislative Caucus Leader Chen Chih-han (陳智菡), whom Li accused of misusing party resources, said Li had made similar attacks before becoming a lawmaker, per SETN. She echoed Huang’s remarks and called on Li to directly address allegations about her eligibility.
