00:00The secretary-general of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party has stepped down after the
00:04resounding failure of the weekend's mass recall campaign. Lin Yeocheng announced his resignation
00:11in a Facebook post Monday morning after the recall attempts against all 24 opposition
00:16Gormandang lawmakers failed. Lin said he takes full responsibility for the party's shortcomings
00:22and failure to meet public expectations. The recalls, which had the potential to shift the
00:27balance of power in the legislature, began as a civic-led movement, but the DPP later lent its
00:33official support. Another recall vote against seven more KMT lawmakers is scheduled in August.
