Su Jiaquan and Cai Qichang will represent the Democratic Progressive Party to compete for the leader of the "Legislative Yuan"
Overseas Network, February 1, According to Dongsen News, the new meeting period of the "Legislative Yuan" will begin on February 1. In addition to allowing the 9th "Legislative Yuan" to register and be sworn in, the vote will be issued in the afternoon to elect the new president and vice president of the "Legislative Yuan". Since the DPP won 68 seats in one fell swoop, more than half of the "Legislative Yuan", if no accidents, the new leader of the "Legislative Yuan" will be Su Jiaquan, a non-district "legislator" sent by the DPP, and Cai Qichang, the Secretary-General of the DPP. This will also be the first time that the "Legislative Yuan" has appeared as the chief and deputy director of the DPP.
After the "General Election" of 2016 ends, the new "Legislative Yuan" will start working on February 1. In the 9th "Legislative Yuan" election, the DPP won 68 seats, 35 seats of the KMT, 5 seats of the TMT, 3 seats of the People First Party, 1 seat of the non-party unity alliance. Therefore, more than half of the DPP alone are very likely to write a new page of the "Legislative Yuan", changing the past situation where the chief and vice presidents of the "Legislative Yuan" were both members of the KMT.
However, there were also dramatic changes in the process of deciding who came out to compete for the leader of the Legislative Yuan. At first, three people were Ke Jianming, Su Jiaquan and Chen Mingwen who initially expressed their opinions to run for the election. In order to coordinate the only candidate, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Ju even sent Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Ju to negotiate, but still failed. It was originally expected that fake voting would be held on the morning of the 29th, but there was a major reversal of "Ke Jianming strongly supported Su Jiaquan". Finally, at the party group meeting, the "Su Cai Pair" formally applauded and passed the "President and Vice President of the Legislative Yuan" to represent the Democratic Yuan.
Su Jiaquan said that if he is elected in the future, he will promote the reform of the "Legislative Yuan" and the administrative reform of the "Legislative Yuan". At the same time, he will immediately resign from his post as a member of the Standing Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party and not intervene in any activities within the party, showing the first step in the reform of the "Legislative Yuan".
Looking back at the past "Legislative Yuan", since 1948, the 68-year-old and vice presidents of the "Legislative Yuan" have been held by the Kuomintang members. Only the 6th "Vice President" Zhong Rongji from 2005 to 2008 is a People First Party member. Wang Jinping, who is the longest term in history, will also step down from his position as "Legislative Yuan" who has been serving for 17 years. This year, a new situation may appear in the "Legislative Yuan" and the first group of Democratic Progressive Party presidents and vice presidents, which has also attracted the attention of the outside world.
In accordance with the "Law on the Exercise of Powers of the Legislative Yuan", a preparatory meeting will be held on the first day of each first session of each session, and the oath of the members and the election of the chief and deputy presidents. The "Legislative Yuan" also stipulates that the election of the chief and vice presidents should be held separately, and 1/3 of the total number of the "Legislative Yuan" must be held, and those who receive more than half of the number of attendees will be elected.
According to the plan, the Legislative Yuan began to accept the 9th Legislative Yuan report at 8 am on February 1, and the oath of inauguration was held at 9:30, and the election of the Legislative Yuan president was held at 10:30, and the vote was issued at 12:00 noon; the election of the Vice President of the Legislative Yuan was held at 2:30 pm, and the vote was continued at 4:00 pm, and the new deputy president was asked to take the oath of inauguration at 5:00 pm.
