people's party chairman ko wen-je announced that he would take a three-month leave, and the outside world is speculating on who will serve as the acting party chairman. li weihua, chairman of the central evaluation committee of the people's party, said yesterday (3rd) that "the boss's leave will not lead to a change of boss," emphasizing that taking leave is a normal phenomenon, and there is no question of acting as party chairman. there is no plan to discuss the election of an acting party chairman for the time being.

ko wen-je was involved in the political donation account controversy and the taipei jinghuacheng case. last thursday (august 29), he bowed and apologized at a press conference and said he would take a three-month leave. people's party secretary-general zhou yuxiu said on august 30 that according to the people's party constitution, only when the party chairman is unable to exercise his powers for some reason will he elect an acting party chairman, but whether taking leave is considered "unable to exercise power for some reason" will be discussed this week by the central committee and the central evaluation committee of the people's party.

according to the people's party constitution, when the party chairman resigns or is unable to perform his duties for some reason, the central committee members of the people's party shall nominate one person to act as the chairman. if the remaining term is more than one year, a by-election shall be held within six months of the vacancy, and the term of office shall last until the expiration of the term of office of the original people's party chairman.

in an interview yesterday, li weihua, chairman of the central evaluation committee of the people's party, said that the central evaluation committee will not hold a meeting to discuss the party constitution. now ko wen-je has just taken a leave of absence, and there is no issue of acting party chairman.

he said that the current situation is a bit like ko wen-je going out for an inspection. currently, the people's party's party affairs are all normal, and the administration is handled by zhou yu-xiu. ko's opinion will only be sought when major incidents occur, so there is no plan to elect an acting party chairman.

wu yixuan, spokesperson for the people's party, said yesterday that ko wen-je has asked for a three-month leave, and that he may have to wait until the lawsuit is settled before discussing the subsequent details. it may be too early to talk about acting as party chairman. she said that the people's party organized an emergency response team in the hope that the whole party can unite and accompany ko wen-je through the interview. the relevant part still needs to be handled by the people's party central evaluation committee and the central committee of the people's party. "it is not up to one person to decide."

previously, the outside world named huang kuo-chang, the chief convener of the taiwan public opinion organization party group, and cai bi-ru, the former legislator of the people's party and the current affairs consultant of taichung city, as the acting chairman of the people's party. when faced with related issues, both of them kept a low profile and were unwilling to talk more. however, in recent press conferences held by the people's party, huang kuo-chang always sat in the most prominent position. previously, the "little grass" (young supporters of the people's party) went to the taipei court to sit in support of ke wenzhe, and huang kuo-chang was also the center. it seems that huang kuo-chang has become the core leader of the people's party without being seen.

according to a poll conducted on a taiwanese online platform, when asked who is most suitable to serve as acting chairman of the people's party, tsai bi-ru ranked first with 27% support, followed closely by huang kuo-chang with 22.5% support. the support rates of others are all below 5%.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
