Comprehensive Taiwan media reports Jiang Qichen, the current chairman of the Kuomintang, took office in March last year, and his term of office was 14 months, and his term of office expired in May this year. The Kuomintang Party Constitution stipulates that the term of office of the party chairman is 4 years, and the party is expected to re-election of the 11th chairman in July this year. This is the fourth time the Kuomintang has elected a party chairman in six years. The Kuomintang’s opposition has been less powerful than before. In these few chairman elections, the lowest votes were former chairman Hung Hsiu-chu .

Since the Kuomintang opened up the election of party members directly to the party chairman in 2001, it has handled 9 party chairman elections, 5 of which were regular re-elections and 4 by-elections. Looking back on the Kuomintang’s previous elections for party chairman, the Kuomintang Constitution established the Party Chairman in 1976, and was elected by Chiang Ching-kuo, the then leader of Taiwan, and became the first party chairman under the election of the Central Standing Committee.

In order to implement democratization, the Kuomintang has revised the provisions of the Party Constitution since 2001 that the Party Chairman will no longer be elected indirectly by the All Congress, but will be directly elected by all members of the Kuomintang. The honorary chairman of the Kuomintang, Lien Chan, is the party leader who was directly elected after the re-election of party members.

Looking back on the election of the Kuomintang chairman in recent years, Ma Ying-jeou was re-elected as chairman of the party for one year in 2013. He resigned after losing the local election in 2014. The Kuomintang chairman began to frequently elect by-election due to poor election results.

In 2015, the then mayor of New Taipei City, Zhu Lilun ran for the same quota. With a vote rate of 56.34%, he won 196,056 votes in history with a highest vote rate of 99.61%, and was successfully elected as chairman of the Kuomintang. However, after Zhu Lilun took office one year, he faced a major defeat in the 2016 "general election", and Zhu Lilun announced his resignation to show his responsibility. "Former Legislative Yuan President" Hung Hsiu-chu announced his investment in the by-election as soon as possible.

Then the acting chairman of the Kuomintang Huang Minhui, former Taipei City Councilman Li Xin, former "legislator" Chen Xuesheng and Hung Hsiu-chu competed for the position of party chairman. Hong was successfully elected as the 8th chairman of the Kuomintang due to the "pillar change incident" within the blue camp . With 78,829 votes and 56.16% votes, Hong was successfully elected as the 8th chairman of the Kuomintang. He is also the first female leader directly elected by a party member in history.

Hong Hsiu-chu's by-election term expired in 2017, and the re-election of the party chairman was held. "Former Premier" Wu Dun-yi defeated Hung Hsiu-chu, who was seeking re-election at the time, Hao Longbin, and former "legislator" Han Kuo-yu , and was elected the 10th chairman of the Kuomintang with a vote of more than half of the votes of 52.24%, and 144,408 votes. It was not until the 2020 "general election" that after the Kuomintang was defeated, Wu Dunyi and the election supervisor announced his resignation.

This time, the Kuomintang lost the election, and the voice of reform and blood exchange emerged from the Chinese and strong generations. In March last year, the 48-year-old "legislator" Jiang Qichen won 84,860 votes, defeating Hao Longbin with an overwhelming 68.8% votes.
