recently, the taipei prosecutors and investigators investigated the people's party's "political donations" and "jinghua city scandals". the prosecutors applied to the taipei district court for the detention of ko wen-je on the grounds of "corruption". on the 2nd, ko wen-je was ordered to return without bail by the taipei district court, but after the prosecutors appealed, the taipei district court changed the original ruling on the 5th and decided to detain ko wen-je.

according to taiwanese media reports, during the period when he was detained again after being released without bail, ko wen-je revealed to his friends that he was in a bad mood. after being released without bail, ko wen-je, in addition to visiting his family in hsinchu, spent most of his time handling follow-up party affairs and crisis management for the people's party. ko wen-je has also been seeking opinions from the founding elders of the party in recent days, but has not discussed whether someone needs to take over as party chairman.

according to the people's party constitution, when the party chairman is unable to exercise his powers for some reason, the central committee members will nominate each other to serve as acting party chairman. however, after ko wen-je was detained, there was no time to explain the follow-up matters, so the people's party still avoids talking about the issue of acting party chairman. huang kuo-chang, convener of the people's party central emergency response team, also emphasized today that there is no issue of acting party chairman at this stage.

it is reported that the founding members of the people's party and the central emergency response team of the people's party held an informal meeting recently. they all agreed that the people's party needs someone to serve as the party chairman to stabilize the situation. based on the performance of the recent crisis management, the most suitable person is huang kuo-chang. however, the top leaders of the people's party are also worried that this move will cause dissatisfaction among some party members, so it will not be announced too soon. in the near future, they will also privately solicit opinions from all walks of life, hoping that the acting party chairman will be elected by mutual recommendation among the central members of the people's party.
