00:00An Nantou County Councillor from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party has survived a recall vote against her.
00:18More than 12,000 people voted in support of removing Chen, which is about twice the number of people who voted against it.
00:25However, the votes in favor still fell short of the threshold for a successful recall.
00:30While the DPP celebrated the win, the main opposition, Kuomintang, was quick to point out only a relatively small number of people voted in favor of keeping Chen.
00:38It says this signifies dwindling support for the ruling party.
00:53Chen is the only DPP politician facing a recall vote this summer, while the seats of about two dozen KMT lawmakers are at stake.
