TAIPEI -- The second round of a recall vote against seven legislators of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) party in Taiwan failed on Saturday, with none of the recall proposals being passed, according to local election affairs authority.

The voting took place from 8 am to 4 pm on Saturday across the island. Ballot counting revealed that the "no" votes prominently outnumbered the "yes" votes, marking another sweeping victory for the KMT against the recall campaign.

After two rounds of voting in vain, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) still remains a minority party at the island's legislature, holding 51 seats out of 113.

It is believed the DPP authorities have plotted the recall campaign against KMT legislators in an attempt to turn around its minority at the legislature. The first round of recall vote took place on July 26, which also suffered a significant defeat.

Public opinions believe that the two rounds of voting results demonstrate the strong dissatisfaction among the people in Taiwan with the political manipulation and chaotic governance of the DPP authorities led by Lai Ching-te.
