After the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lost the 2022 municipal “elections” in Taiwan, there were increasing calls for the administrative affairs agency to be reorganized on the island.
Su’s resignation sparked a struggle for control among DPP officials and impacted the party’s standing in the 2024 regional “election.”
The regional executive body’s spokesperson, Lo Ping-cheng, stated differently that Su and his staff would formally resign once Tsai has confirmed their replacements.
