Taiwan's legislature rejected all twenty-seven nominees for the Control Yuan, the constitutional watchdog that monitors the government, in a roll call vote on September twenty-ninth.
The opposition KMT and Taiwan People's Party caucuses voted as a bloc against every candidate, including president nominee Chen Jung-shing, denying each the majority of all lawmakers required for confirmation.
The Control Yuan warned that its impeachment censure and correction powers have stalled, that thousands of monthly public petitions cannot be processed, and that the National Human Rights Commission, a body set up under the United Nations Paris Principles, cannot operate.
The sixth term members' terms expired on July thirty-first, and no seventh term can take office.
The presidential office said it deeply regrets the outcome, while the Control Yuan rejected opposition accusations that it had become a tool for hunting political enemies, calling the claims baseless.
