The potential alliance between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) for the 2024 presidential election is generating significant interest. Chiu Yi, a former legislator of the KMT and People First Party, has proposed a strategy to revive the KMT-TPP alliance, highlighting the strong candidacy of Foxconn founder Terry Gou. Yi believes that the success of the alliance depends on the KMT’s commitment to open and democratic elections. He warns that the KMT’s lack of transparency in the primary election could lead to further issues, potentially making Gou a target for investigations. Yi suggests implementing open public voting during the primaries to prevent any hidden manipulation and emphasizes Gou’s significant support base, which cannot be ignored.

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.

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.
