After the January 2024 national elections in Taiwan, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP, 民進黨) retained the presidency but lost control of the Legislative Yuan (LY, 立法院). With 60 combined seats, the Kuomintang (KMT, 國民黨)-Taiwan People’s Party (TPP, 民眾黨) coalition now holds the advantage over the DPP’s 51 seats, giving it enough leverage to downplay and block DPP President Lai Ching-te’s (賴清德) policy proposals.
