TOPSHOT - A supporter of Taiwan's main opposition party, Kuomintang (KMT), waves the country's national flag during a rally against the recall election in front of the Presidential Office in Taipei on July 25, 2025. Taiwan's main opposition protested on July 25 ahead of unprecedented recall elections targeting its lawmakers that could tip the balance of power to President Lai Ching-te's party. The KMT, which advocates closer ties with Beijing, controls parliament with the help of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) and has slammed the recall effort as undermining the self-ruled island's democracy.
