Lai Ching-te, the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) presidential candidate, has announced on Facebook that he has invited Hsiao Bi-khim to be his running mate in the 2024 Presidential Election. Lai believes that Hsiao, Taiwan’s representative to the U.S., is an excellent choice and has fostered extraordinary closeness in Taiwan-U.S. relations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) also praised Hsiao’s significant contributions to Taiwan-U.S. relations, and she is widely recognized as an exceptional diplomat. Hsiao, a former DPP legislator, has submitted her resignation, which is expected to take effect in a few days. Foreign Minister Joseph Wu has granted her leave during this period.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) campaign spokesperson Chen Chih-han expressed discontentment over the announcement of collaboration between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the TPP, but emphasized the importance of the party’s objectives.

This decision sparked dissatisfaction among TPP supporters and staff, but Ko acknowledged their concerns during a press conference. Ko expressed worry that the collaboration might reduce their distinction and erase their leading advantage. Despite this, Chen believes that most of the party’s teams and volunteers understand Ko’s predicament. Rumors of dissatisfaction leading to the resignation of Vivian Huang persisted, but Ko’s campaign chief of staff clarified that no resignation notice was given. Huang urged everyone to fully support the TPP, emphasizing that all senior members share the same determination to win the forthcoming elections.

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.

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.
