According to Taiwan United News Network, the Kuomintang chairman's by-election appeared on March 7. Former vice chairman Hao Longbin and "legislator" Jiang Qichen, who are interested in competing for the party leader, went to receive the form in the past two days. The candidates must pay 2 million yuan in election fees; the candidates will be accepted on February 3 and 4, and registered candidates must also pay the party member's signature letter. Who can be a century-old store and the number of party members with the right to vote has become the key.
Since the direct election in 2001, only Lien Chan and Ma Ying-jeou have served as party chairman, who successfully completed one term. The rest include Ma Ying-jeou's second chairman, Zhu Lilun, Hong Hsiu-chu, and Wu Dun-yi. They all resigned in advance before they completed their term of office, and were nicknamed the "curse of the party chairman" by the outside world.
According to the provisions of the Kuomintang chairman election regulations, party members who have served as members of the Central Committee or members of the Central Committee and who have more than 3% of the party members with party power can apply to register as candidates for the Kuomintang chairman election. As long as party members who pay the 2020 party dues before February 23, they have the right to vote for this party chairman by-election. According to the party's estimate, the actual number of voters and thresholds should be increased.
There are more than 870,000 members of the Kuomintang. However, the Kuomintang organized a conference to form a statistics on the 21st that there are currently more than 263,000 party members with party power, and each camp must submit at least 8,000 valid and qualified party members. Hao Longbin and Jiang Qichen have posted joint letters on Facebook, hoping that supporters will actively sign.
In 2017, as many as 6 groups of candidates for the Kuomintang Chairman’s by-election run, and the participation and payment of party dues are enthusiastic, and the number of effective party members has increased dramatically, attracting attention from the outside world. Tainan City Councilman Xie Longjie called on Korean fans to join the party in November last year, and a total of 15,000 people have joined the party. However, the Kuomintang revised the election measures for the Party Chairman in August 2017 and extended the threshold for electoral qualifications from 4 months to 1 year. This by-election continues to adopt new regulations, and the voting rights of Korean fans who joined the party at the end of last year will not be able to vote. In this regard, Xie Longjie argued that this election was a by-election for the party chairman election in May 2017, and the old regulations should be applied, and you can vote in four months after joining the party.
Among the more than 870,000 qualified party members, Huang Fuxing, a member of the "iron-core blue army" accounted for about 20% of all party members. It has always been the highest turnout in previous party chairman elections. Wu Dunyi was able to win more than half of the votes in the last term. It was precisely because of Huang Fuxing's party headquarters who helped him. This time, his father Hao Baicun was born in the military department, which became the advantage of Hao Longbin's struggle for the support of Huang Fuxing's party committee; and Xie Longjie also has a considerable influence among the supporters of Han Kuo-yu , especially Huang Fuxing has many fans. After Xie Longjie announced that he would not run for the election of the party chairman, whether Jiang Qichen can win Xie Longjie's support for the party leader has attracted attention from the outside world.
