KMT Chairman 結果共76筆

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.

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 Chairman of the Broadcasting Corporation of China, Chao Shao-kang, has urged Terry Gou, independent presidential candidate and founder of Foxconn, to reconsider his election bid in light of the recent consensus reached between the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). Chao emphasized that Gou has already surpassed the nomination threshold and should step back, as he initially aimed to boost the KMT-TPP coalition. Although TPP candidate Ko Wen-je had considered an alliance with Gou, the formation of the coalition renders any significant change unlikely. Chao cautioned against excluding Gou and suggested integrating his influence into the coalition. He warned that failing to do so could pose problems if Gou continues his presidential run. Chao expressed confidence that Gou would not win the election and advised him to withdraw logically, rather than emotionally.

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.

The story discusses the role of Ko Wen-je, chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), in splitting the Kuomintang (KMT) votes since the 2018 Taipei Mayoral election. Yao Li-ming, campaign director for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential hopeful Lai Ching-te, claims that the DPP’s decision to nominate Pasuya Yao for the mayoral race was a strategic move to distinguish themselves from Ko. Yao also highlights how Ko has shifted his focus away from securing the green camp’s vote in the 2022 election. Additionally, Yao argues that the KMT and TPP cannot form a union due to their differing natures and suggests that the potential candidacy of Foxconn founder Terry Gou has a greater impact on Ko and Hou than on Lai.

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.

Patty Tsai, daughter of the founders of the Red Bean Dining Group and wife of Kuomintang (KMT) deputy chairman Sean Lien, sparked speculation of a political run after posting a picture resembling an election campaign on her Facebook page. However, the picture was actually promoting her brand’s participation in the Double 11 Shopping Festival in 2023. Tsai’s intention was to combat unscrupulous products, address food safety risks, and provide better services and culinary products to the public. Her playful evocation of an election campaign garnered support online, with many users endorsing her and referring to her as ＂Legislator Tsai.＂

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.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) chairman Ko Wen-je confirmed that his lunch with Terry Gou involved talks on the depreciation of the Japanese Yen and how the New Taiwan dollar should respond. Ko clarified that this was a financial topic he discussed with Gou during their spare time, not a discussion about exchanging positions. The lunch took place after an event at the Hulu Temple, and they did not invite Kuomintang’s Hou Yu-ih, who had no successful meeting outcomes with Ko on the KMT-TPP alliance. Ko shared the details of his meeting with Gou after a press conference at his campaign headquarters, highlighting that frequent dialogues often turn acquaintances into friends.

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.

Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu will meet with Taipei People’s Party (TPP) Chairman Ko Wen-je to discuss policies and legislative elections.

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.

Former Kaohsiung mayor, Han Kuo-yu, confirms he is considering an offer to become Kuomintang’s vice chairman, emphasizing that job titles are not a concern for him.

Meanwhile, the Convener of the ＂Blue Fighters,＂ Chao Shao-kang, held a press conference to publicize their joint policy drafts, with Han Kuo-yu, former vice chairman Hau Lung-bin, and Kuomintang’s presidential candidate, Hou Yu-ih, in attendance.

The Chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), Eric Chu, emphasized the importance of a ＂Blue-White＂ alliance in response to public expectations rather than as a political strategy.
