The opposition KMT and TPP have rejected a nominee for the Prosecutor-General's position.
Xu Xi Xiang 徐錫祥 currently serves as Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
The presidential office announced in March that the current Prosecutor-General's term would end this month...
leading President Lai Ching Te to nominate Xu as according to law.
DPP Legislative Caucus Secretary General Zhuang Rui Xiong said this morning that all caucus members would vote in support of Xu's nomination and called on the KMT and TPP to follow suit.
But TPP caucus leaders said they believed Xu's qualifications to be inadequate and said that his expertise appeared to be better suited to other positions, thus meriting a vote against him.
Ultimately, Xu received 50 votes in his favor and 61 against along party lines.
