the people's party chairman ko wen-je is embroiled in a political donation scandal. this afternoon (29th), he officially announced that he would take a three-month leave to allow the central evaluation committee and an impartial third party to conduct an investigation. as for who will be the acting chairman of the people's party, the people's party secretary-general zhou yuxiu said at a press conference that the central committee of the people's party will convene the central committee for consultation. the candidate for the chairman of the people's party will be nominated by the central committee members. there is no question of ko wen-je appointing him. the follow-up will be discussed as soon as possible.

ko wen-je explained that the reason for the "leave" was to facilitate the review by the central evaluation committee of the people's party and even by a third party. if he were the chairman of the people's party, it would be inconvenient for everyone to conduct an investigation, and he also needed time to reflect. he also emphasized that the taiwan people's party started as a one-person party and would never end because of a one-person party. "i have confidence in the energy of our entire party."

as for the candidate for the people's party chairman's replacement, it will be decided as soon as possible according to the charter, and will not be appointed by ko wen-je. according to analysis within the people's party, legislator huang kuo-chang or lin fu-nan, a member of the central committee of the people's party who is directly under ko wen-je, both have a high chance of being selected as the replacement.

zhou yuxiu emphasized that according to the people's party's party constitution, the candidate for the chairman of the people's party is nominated by the central committee members, so there is no question of ko wen-je appointing him.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
