The Kuomintang’s (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih and his running mate Jaw Shaw-kong participated in a photo shoot and promotional video session with unranked legislative nominees. They donned white shirts and blue jeans for the hour-long session. Jaw Shaw-kong publicly appealed to Foxconn founder Terry Gou to rejoin the party and contribute to the election campaign, emphasizing the need for unity for the greater good of Taiwan. KMT Chairman Eric Chu took responsibility for any dissatisfaction within the party, highlighting the importance of party coherence. However, Gou distanced himself from rejoining the KMT and the electoral battle, stating that the issue is not relevant to him. The KMT has been actively seeking unity through various channels, including attempting to woo Gou, in order to bolster their chances in the upcoming elections.

Former President Ma Ying-jeou’s office accuses Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office of contradicting President Tsai Ing-wen’s statement on noninterference in judiciary matters. The prosecutor’s office is investigating the Blue-White alliance, a collaboration between political parties, as an illicit ＂partition of interests.＂ Defendants under investigation include Eric Chu, Chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), Hou Yu-ih, the KMT’s presidential candidate, and Ko Wen-je, the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate. KMT spokesperson Yang Chih-yu criticizes the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for politicizing the judiciary and discrediting internationally common party cooperation models. Yang highlights previous instances of the DPP’s involvement in similar political arrangements, raising questions about a double standard.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu and presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih expressed feeling humiliated by the lack of genuine cooperation with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). Despite failed negotiations for an alliance, Hou and his vice-presidential running mate, Jaw Shaw-kong, registered as candidates with the Central Election Commission. Hou attempted to collaborate with TPP candidate Ko Wen-je, but Ko did not answer the call. Ko later apologized for criticizing a public meeting and expressed efforts to bridge cooperation between the KMT and TPP, but cited political philosophy differences. Hou reported that the KMT approached the TPP with sincerity but felt disrespected when former President Ma Ying-jeou was made to wait five hours. Despite challenges, Hou and his party maintained strong conviction and sincerity in cooperating with Ko, but a partnership could not be realized. Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te suggested that the breakdown indicated that the alliance was more about partisan and power-sharing concerns rather than the interests of the nation and its people.

During a three-way election talk in Taipei, Kuomintang presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih revealed a private message sent by independent candidate Ko Wen-je, implying that Terry Gou, another independent candidate, needs a reason to withdraw from the race. The gathering, attended by Gou, Hou, Ko, former president Ma Ying-jeou, and KMT chairman Eric Chu, has been seen as a classic pre-election scene. Hou accidentally disclosed Ko’s comments about Gou needing an excuse to step down. Ko had intended to hold a meeting among the three parties to demonstrate their commitment to Taiwan’s future. By giving Gou a chance to host the meeting and act as a driving force behind the KMT-TPP ticket, Ko believed Gou could withdraw from the race without embarrassment. Gou was reportedly shocked by this revelation, as he was unaware of the messages exchanged. Wu Tzu-chia, president of Formosa Online, commented on the incident, highlighting Gou’s surprise and his initial intention to promote opposition unity. However, Ko’s reaction to the leaked message was ironic, as he criticized Hou and exposed his own pretense, adding further controversy to the already heated election atmosphere.

Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih vows to assemble a strong team for the 2024 elections, including 15 mayors, legislators, and village chiefs. The KMT aims to restore stability and prosperity amid concerns over national security and public demands for change. A meeting between Hou, Terry Gou, and Ko Wen-je to discuss opposition consolidation ends without agreement. KMT chairman Eric Chu shows support as the party’s at-large legislative candidates register with the Central Election Commission. Former Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu calls for KMT legislators to address the nation’s needs, question policies, and fight against corruption.

KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih has expressed his willingness to renegotiate survey results that could determine the final joint ticket with TPP candidate Ko Wen-je, even if he loses. He proposed a 2-on-2 discussion format involving KMT Chairman Eric Chu and former President Ma Ying-jeou, each appointing a representative to debate the nine survey results. Hou’s gesture came after Ko reached out to him, suggesting the camps reconvene talks. Hou emphasized the urgency of reaching an agreement and stated his readiness to accept the role of a vice-presidential candidate regardless of the survey outcomes. He also announced his openness to broadcasting the negotiation process live to ensure transparency. This move demonstrates Hou’s effort to consolidate support against the ruling Democratic Progressive Party as the election approaches.

In the midst of Taiwan’s 2024 election preparations, KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih promises to respect TPP candidate Ko Wen-je’s decision, as both parties struggle to finalize a joint ticket amidst disagreements on opinion poll calculations.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te is facing pressure from the opposition alliance formed by the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), according to a recent poll by Formosa Magazine. In a three-way race, Lai leads with 33.6% support, followed by KMT’s Hou Yu-ih at 28.5%, and TPP’s Ko Wen-je at 20.5%. The KMT-TPP union, known as the Blue-White Coalition, has put Lai in an unfavorable position, with a combined support for Hou and Ko reaching 49%. Political commentator Wu Tzu-chia noted the narrowing gap between Lai and Hou, with just a 5.1 percentage point difference. When Ko’s 20.5% support is considered, the Hou-Ko duo leads Lai by a significant 16 percentage points. The formation of the Blue-White Coalition has intensified the election battle for Lai, as indicated by the poll. The Blue-White agreement, reached on Nov. 15 by Ko, Hou, former president Ma Ying-jeou, and KMT Chairman Eric Chu, has caused ripples in Taiwan’s political landscape.

The Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) held a ＂party-to-party＂ talk to determine their joint presidential ticket. The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation confirmed that nationwide polling will be used to select the best presidential candidate for the KMT-TPP coalition. Former President Ma Ying-jeou was present at the talk, which included TPP candidate Ko Wen-je, KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih, and KMT chair Eric Chu. The joint party candidate will be chosen based on polling results from both parties and external organizations. The accuracy of the results will be determined by polling experts from both parties. The final results will be announced on Saturday by the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation. The meeting concluded with an agreement to establish a coalition government based on shared national visions and policies.

Vivian Huang, campaign manager for Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je, has denied rumors of her resignation, stating that she will stay by his side until the end. This comes as the presidential election is approaching in less than two months. Huang emphasized her loyalty to Ko, saying, ＂I’ve fought by Ko’s side for the past three years. What does not kill you makes you stronger!＂ Additionally, the TPP and Kuomintang (KMT) reached a party alliance consensus, with Ko meeting with KMT heavyweights, including party chairman Eric Chu and presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih, with former President Ma Ying-jeou as a witness. Both parties have agreed to use a point-based system to assess public opinion poll results, with three recommended polling experts evaluating the polls from November 7 to November 17, along with two internal polls from the KMT and TPP. The results will be unveiled by the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation on Saturday, ultimately determining the order of the ticket – either Hou and Ko, or Ko and Hou.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je urges the resolution of the alliance between the Kuomintang (KMT) and TPP. Ko emphasizes the need for urgency, suggesting that the matter be resolved within one to two days. He also calls for transparency in the meeting with KMT chairman Eric Chu and invites former President Ma Ying-jeou as a witness. Ko clarifies that collaboration at various levels is not in question, but the discord lies in the combination of presidential candidates. Both Ma and former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu support a public opinion survey to determine the final ticket lineup. KMT Chairperson Chu acknowledges the mutual understanding regarding the survey but highlights the need for further negotiation and discussion on the details and rules of the proposed plan.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu emphasizes the need for collective negotiation in the third wave of democratic reform, amidst a potential ＂blue-white party alliance＂ for the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan. Chu’s comments follow Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je’s openness to using nationwide polling, a method favored by former President Ma Ying-jeou, to determine the final candidate combination. While the KMT and TPP agree on implementing a national poll, differences remain in the content and rules. Chu is committed to upholding the spirit of democratic reform and negotiation, and ongoing talks with Ko have not been interrupted.

The story discusses the political figures from the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) who have sparked public speculation with metaphorical references to a ＂train.＂ The concept of the Blue-White Coalition, a topic gaining attention, is at the center of this development. TPP presidential candidate Ko Wen-je shared a photo on Facebook of himself enjoying a Taiwan Railways boxed lunch while traveling on the Puyuma Express. In contrast, KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih declared a few days ago that ＂the train will not wait for those who are late,＂ urging Ko to make a decision on their collaboration.

Fifteen regional leaders of the Kuomintang (KMT) have petitioned for their party to collaborate with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) for the 2024 elections. The petition expresses support for one of two proposals put forward by KMT Chairman Eric Chu. The presidential and vice presidential candidates would be Hou Yu-ih and Ko Wen-je if the KMT is victorious, or Ko and Hou if the TPP wins. The two systems, based on the Japanese or German model, are determined by comparative polls. The KMT aims to achieve democratic reform in Taiwan through this collaboration to avoid a single dominant party.

Main figures of the heated election race, including Kuomingtang (KMT) Chair Eric Chu, KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih, and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je, held a secret meeting to discuss presidential and vice presidential candidacies, but no consensus was reached. In celebration of Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Renunciation Day, a memorial event was held at Shilin Hulu Temple, attended by KMT candidate Hou, TPP candidate Ko, independent candidate Terry Gou, and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an. Negotiations for a KMT-TPP joint ticket are set for tomorrow, and both parties emphasized the need for exploring new options and not disappointing the public’s expectations. Hou, with 43 years of public service, remains dedicated to protecting Taiwan and uniting the nation.

Kuomintang (KMT) Presidential Candidate Hou Yu-ih has set a deadline of Friday (Nov. 3) for final negotiations with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) ahead of the 2024 presidential election. If an agreement is not reached by then, there will be no further talks. A closed-door meeting between KMT Chairman Eric Chu, Hou, and TPP Chairman Ko Wen-je on Oct. 31 failed to forge an agreement. The preliminary negotiation was originally scheduled for Friday, but Chu initiated the meeting on Oct. 31 due to concerns about the outcome. The 53-minute meeting resulted in a deadlock, with all parties sticking to their viewpoints without reaching a consensus. Ko stated that there’s no need for another meeting without a clear action plan, while Chu emphasized that the focus of the tripartite meeting was to express good intentions and find a method for party negotiation rather than engaging in competition.

Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ko Wen-je has urged Kuomintang Chairman Eric Chu to propose a viable method for selecting the strongest presidential candidate. The call comes amid ongoing disagreements between the two parties and with less than three weeks remaining until the registration deadline. The future of the KMT-TPP alliance remains in question.

KMT Chairman Eric Chu and TPP Chairman Ko Wen-je affirm collaboration on legislative seats and democratic reform in Taiwan. The partnership aims to challenge the Democratic Progressive Party’s longstanding rule, enhance legislative function, and promote policies for national security and public health. The alliance also vows to restore stability across the Taiwan Strait.

Eric Chu, chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), and Ko Wen-je, chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), will engage in inter-party cooperation negotiations on Monday. The discussions will center around forming a coalition government, maximizing legislative seats, and identifying the strongest opposition candidate for the presidency. The talks, initiated by the KMT and TPP, are aimed at Taiwan’s future and cross-strait peace, rather than serving the interests of the parties themselves.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu will meet with Taipei People’s Party (TPP) Chairman Ko Wen-je to discuss policies and legislative elections. They may also discuss the selection of presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Chu acknowledges public impatience and anger over the lack of cooperation between the Blue and White camps and promises to work harder.

Hou Yu-ih, the KMT’s 2024 presidential candidate, advocates for primary elections as the best method to select the strongest candidate in a potential alliance with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). The two parties have yet to reach a consensus on this issue.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu confirmed on Thursday (Oct. 12) that the party has been discussing with former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu to take on the role of vice chair for ＂several months.＂

A recent internet survey shows that 64% of respondents believe former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu does not boost Kuomintang (KMT) presidential hopeful Hou Yu-ih’s popularity, while 30% think he does. Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing for a possible alignment between the KMT and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) for the 2024 elections, with Han holding meetings with both Hou and TPP Chairman Ko Wen-je.
