TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Following the resignation of You Si-kun from the Legislative Yuan, 13th on the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator-at-large list, Dr. Wang Cheng-hsu, is set to join the legislative chamber.

You failed to secure re-election as a legislative speaker on Thursday, with the Kuomintang's (KMT) Han Kuo-yu winning the seat. Following the loss, You immediately announced in a statement that he would step down from his legislative duties from Feb. 2, citing personal reasons.

 

Wang, who is set to take over You's vacated position, is a leading hematologist oncologist from the Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and the current chairman of the Hope Foundation for Cancer Care. If successfully inducted into the Legislative Yuan, he will be the only representative of the medical sector among the DPP legislators.

The former legislator You's decision to step down will cause a reshuffle within the DPP. Wang's background as a seasoned medical professional is expected to bring a new perspective to the legislative discussions, particularly those concerning health issues.

The winning of the legislative speakership by KMT member Han indicates a swing in the political tide, challenging the DPP's former dominance in the chamber. Thursday's developments mark significant shifts in Taiwan's legislative landscape.
