Supporters and opponents of Taiwan KMT presidential candidate march in Kaohsiung

Supporters and opponents of Taiwan KMT presidential candidate march in Kaohsiung

The group asked 100,000 supporters of its recall effort to march in Kaohsiung Saturday.

Later, the KMT campaign decided to hold a counter-march in support of Han’s candidacy in the January 11, 2020 presidential election. Organizers said Saturday afternoon their march was attracting 300,000 participants, the United Daily News reported.

Due to fears over possible violent clashes between radical supporters of both camps, an estimated 3,000 police officers were stationed around the city, including at key stations on its Mass Rapid Transit system. The chief of the National Police Administration (NPA) had left Taipei for Kaohsiung to direct the security measures, reports said.
