# The 11th Legislative Yuan convenes without a DPP majority Date: 2024 ## The fact On 1 February 2024 the 11th Legislative Yuan swore in 113 members. The DPP held 51 seats, the KMT 52, the TPP 8, with two independents aligned to the pan-blue camp. [Han Kuo-yu](/people/han-kuo-yu) was elected speaker. Lai was president-elect, not yet sworn. He did not write the seat arithmetic. ## Context The 13 January general election sat as parent. Neighbouring 20 May oath is later. He did not sit as CEC. A president-elect is not a LY majority. The 13 January presidential win is neighbouring. 28 May legislative-power bills are a child of this split. The president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) is head of state under the Additional Articles and commander-in-chief. He does not write a PLA communique, a TSMC capex print, or a Legislative Yuan majority. A National Day address is not a completed interceptor. An inaugural line is not a PLA missile. A special-act press conference is not a passed statute. [William Lai](/people/lai-ching-te) is a common English name for the same person; the stored English name is Lai Ching-te. ## Evidence and sources Focus Taiwan (CNA) carries the official instrument or communique. Taiwan News records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience) versus polarisation: a completed chamber without a DPP majority constrains the incoming president. ## What is established and what is not Established: 1 February 2024 swearing-in and speaker election, independently reported; DPP 51, KMT 52. Not established: that every later bill was thereby blocked that Thursday, or a unique later GDP coefficient from the split. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. He was DPP chair and president-elect. Han and the TPP share the speaker file.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The 11th Legislative Yuan convenes without a DPP majority, not a later speech about The 11th Legislative Yuan convenes without a DPP majority. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The 11th Legislative Yuan convenes without a DPP majority on 2024-02-01 is not a licence to treat every later Focus Taiwan (CNA) communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The 11th Legislative Yuan convenes without a DPP majority into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Voters and CEC produced the seats. He was DPP chair and president-elect. Han and the TPP share the speaker file. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Lai Ching-te: https://factrail.ai/people/lai-ching-te ## Drivers - Political Polarization: https://factrail.ai/drivers/political-polarization - Democratic Resilience: https://factrail.ai/drivers/democratic-resilience ## Sources - https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/5088784 - https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/202402010005 ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/tw-lai-ly-split-2024
