Kuomintang presidential candidate 結果共249筆

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 ＂Blue-White Pact,＂ a joint ticket between the opposition parties Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), has become a topic of public discussion in Taipei. Tensions arose when it was revealed that both parties were dissatisfied with the methods used to select their presidential candidates. In response to public scrutiny, TPP candidate Ko Wen-je released a campaign video featuring a potential running mate. The video depicted Huang Shan-shan, secretary general of Ko’s campaign headquarters, as the TPP candidate for vice presidency. KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih’s running mate was identified as Ko Chih-en, CEO of a KMT think tank. The campaign video criticized the ruling parties for their failure to improve living conditions in Taiwan, leading to mixed reactions online. Former KMT lawmaker Alex Tsai emphasized that the pairing of Ko and Hou is crucial for winning the presidential election.

Former President Ma Ying-jeou supports conducting a public poll to determine the final candidate combination for the upcoming presidential race in Taiwan. The Kuomintang’s (KMT) Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People’s Party’s (TPP) Ko Wen-je have yet to decide who will run as the presidential or vice presidential candidate if a party alliance is formed. Executive director Xiao Xucen of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation revealed that a prominent blue camp figure visited Ma and suggested comparing the ＂Hou-Ko＂ and ＂Ko-Hou＂ combinations with the Democratic Progressive Party’s ＂Lai Ching-te and Hsiao Bi-khim＂ combination through a public poll. Ma Ying-jeou expressed strong agreement with this proposal. Xiao has shared this information with Hou’s campaign office and the party.

Taiwan People’s Party presidential candidate Ko Wen-je’s disapproval rating has increased by 14.5 percentage points to 42.3%, making him the most unpopular among the contenders, according to a recent poll. The survey also revealed that Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Ching-te has an approval rating of 33% and a disapproval rating of 39.5%, while Kuomintang candidate Hou You-yi has an approval rating of 27.3% and a disapproval rating of 32%. Independent candidate Terry Gou received an approval rating of 17.9% and a disapproval rating of 33.9%. Compared to a previous poll conducted in May 2023, all four candidates saw an increase in disapproval ratings and a decline in approval ratings. Notably, Ko’s disapproval rating increased by 14.5 percentage points, while Gou’s approval rating fell by 16.1 percentage points.

The latest poll by Formosa Magazine reveals that Lai Ching-te, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate, is leading the race for the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan with 38.5% support. The Kuomintang (KMT) candidate, Hou Yu-ih, trails behind at 26.2%, while Ko Wen-je, the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) candidate, secures 16.9% support. Including independent candidate Terry Gou, Lai is leading with 35.6% approval in the ＂four-legged race,＂ followed by Hou at 22.2%, Ko at 16.9%, and Gou at the bottom with 6.9%. The survey also asked non-Lai supporters if they would vote for the candidate with the highest level of support among Ko, Hou, and Gou to beat the ruling DPP. 45.5% of respondents disagreed, while 39.1% agreed. In comparison to the previous poll, Lai saw a 0.8 percentage point increase to 38.5% in a three-legged race, while Hou dropped 1.4 percentage points to 26.2%. Ko, on the other hand, increased by 1.4 percentage points. Regardless of the race format, Hou currently beats Ko by five to six percentage points. The poll was conducted from November 2-3 and 6, surveying 1,201 adults across 22 counties and cities nationwide, with an error margin of 2.8% at a 95% confidence level.

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.

Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih visited the Shihlin Hulu Temple and emphasized that regardless of who becomes president, they must act in Taiwan’s best interest. Independent candidate Terry Gou and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) nominee Ko Wen-je also attended the event. Hou highlighted his 43-year career in the police force, defending the Republic of China and all citizens of Taiwan. Gou emphasized peace across the Taiwan Strait and facilitating Taiwan’s economic prosperity. Ko thanked Gou for his assistance during his tenure as mayor and visited the temple to pray for national peace.

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.

Former legislator Shen Fu-hsiung discusses the potential joint ticket between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) for the upcoming 2024 presidential election on TVBS TV program Situation Room. Shen reveals that TPP candidate Ko Wen-je is considering partnering with KMT candidate Hou Yu-i, but is still undecided.

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.

The latest national poll by My Formosa reveals a slight decline in support for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Lai Ching-te in the upcoming 2024 presidential election in Taiwan. Lai currently holds 33.7% of support, slightly lower than the previous month. On the other hand, Kuomintang (KMT) candidate Hou Yu-ih has seen a slight increase in backing, with 24.6% support. Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) candidate Ko Wen-je closely trails behind with 23.9% support.

KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih unveils a bold plan to attract 18 million foreign tourists if elected as Taiwan’s next president. Hou believes that tourism is a reflection of national strength and aims to counter the economic recession by boosting the industry. His proposed policy includes a 15% increase in the budget to improve infrastructure, such as airports, ports, the High Speed Rail, and the Taiwan Railway. In response to a recent incident involving a Taiwanese tour group in Xinjiang, Hou criticizes the government for not lifting restrictions on group tours to China, leading to privately arranged travel groups.

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.

The story discusses the potential alliance between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), referred to as the ＂Blue-White Collaboration,＂ which suggests a more collaborative approach to China compared to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te claims that the Communist Party of China (CCP) is eager to see this collaboration succeed as it aims to foster a pro-China regime in Taiwan to facilitate annexation.

Lai Ching-te, the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) presidential candidate, criticized the KMT for its significant policy shift – from advocating ’counter-attack against the mainland’ to pushing for closer ties with China. Lai emphasized the paramount importance of national security.

Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih emphasized his dedication to protecting Taiwan’s homeland and national security at a campaign event in Tainan City. He addressed unresolved cross-strait issues, such as the United States listing Taiwan as a military aid country and the increasing number of Chinese military aircraft entering Taiwan’s air defense identification zone. Hou affirmed that national security is his top priority and that he has committed his life’s work to safeguarding Taiwan, promising not to betray the island nation. He believes Taiwan is at a critical juncture, choosing between war and peace, and stressed the importance of maintaining social order, avoiding collusion between government officials and businesses, and prioritizing economic development.

A recent poll conducted by online magazine My Formosa reveals that Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Lai Ching-te is currently leading the race for the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan with 34.7%. The survey indicates a narrow gap between Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) candidate Ko Wen-je and Kuomintang (KMT) candidate Hou Yu-ih, with only a 0.5% difference. Even if independent candidate Terry Gou joins the race, Lai’s lead is projected to persist. The survey was conducted from Oct. 23 to Oct. 25, with 1,470 individuals successfully interviewed. The maximum margin of error is ±2.6% and the confidence level is 95%.

Independent presidential candidate Terry Gou faces internal and external challenges, including petition issues, joint actions by the Kuomintang and Taiwan People’s Party, and poor poll ratings. The future of his campaign is uncertain as his company, Hon Hai’s subsidiary Foxconn, is under investigation by the Chinese Communist Party’s tax department.

The 21st Taiwan LGBT+ Pride , with the theme ＂Stand with Diversity,＂ will take place in front of Taipei City Hall on October 28th. DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te will attend, while PFP candidate Ko Wen-je will be absent due to a prior engagement in the south. KMT will send youth group members, and Hou Yu-yih will not attend but expresses support for gender equality. Terry Gou and Lai Pei-hsia will also be absent but maintain their support for gender-friendly policies.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je has agreed to engage in party negotiations with the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) in an effort to collaborate. This comes after KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih suggested that a democratic primary or public polls may not be sufficient and proposed party negotiations instead. Ko emphasized the importance of winning the election and stated that he sees no problem with party negotiations if Hou insists.

According to a recent poll conducted by the TVBS Poll Center, nearly 60% of Taiwanese respondents believe it is unlikely for the Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih to collaborate with Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) candidate Ko Wen-je. Only 21% of those surveyed believed a cooperative effort between the two candidates was possible, while 21% remained undecided.

DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te has called on Mainland China to appreciate the contributions of Taiwanese business people to its economy. This appeal comes as Foxconn Group, a major Taiwanese tech firm, faces investigations by China’s tax and natural resources departments. Lai emphasized that Taiwanese business people are an important asset to China, fostering economic growth and creating opportunities. He urged China not to pressure Taiwanese business people during the upcoming election, warning that it would harm both sides and undermine confidence in the Chinese market. Lai also called on China to respect Taiwan’s democratic constitution and lifestyle and to accept that the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communists is over. He encouraged China to engage in equitable and dignified dialogue exchange.

Tensions escalated between Kuomintang (KMT) president candidate Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Ko Wen-je’s teams, as the latter rejected KMT’s proposals for democratic primaries and public opinion polls, with no compromise in sight. KMT Spokesperson Huang Tzu-che accused Ko’s party of refusing to cooperate and demanded they be held accountable for the impasse. The TPP refuted this, arguing that scientific validity and reliability are subject to societal scrutiny.

Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih has proposed a concrete plan for an open primary on Tuesday(Oct. 17), addressing TPP’s concerns.

Kuomintang’s presidential candidate, Hou Yu-ih, criticizes the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for not fulfilling electoral promises. He specifically targets DPP’s presidential candidate Lai Ching-te for his failure to complete social housing projects during his tenure as Tainan Mayor.
