After Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an called for a protest on Ketagalan Boulevard on the 25th, he reignited the debate on a no-confidence motion on the 27th, revealing that several Kuomintang legislators have privately discussed the issue, drawing political attention. In response, former政务委员Chang Ching-sen clearly stated, "I support the no-confidence motion and also support a full re-election of the legislature."

Chang emphasized on Facebook that the Executive Yuan and Legislative Yuan have been in prolonged conflict, resulting in policy stagnation and legislative gridlock. With both ruling and opposition parties accusing each other of defying public opinion, he stressed, "If both sides claim to represent the true will of the people, they should stop shouting across the aisle and instead return the decision-making power to the people."

He argued that a no-confidence motion is not merely political struggle but a legitimate democratic outlet provided by the constitutional system. Since the current legislature is unable to achieve effective governance, a re-election should be held to allow the people to redefine its composition and establish a new mandate, thereby ending the political impasse.

Chang further stated, "The ultimate judge in a democratic system is not political parties, politicians, or the media—it is the people. If both sides claim to represent public opinion, they must bravely face the people's judgment. Returning the decision to the people is democracy; respecting their choice is constitutionalism."
