taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je has been detained and denied access to visitors. the party is having a headache over how to deal with the chairman issue. if ko wen-je is prosecuted in the future, should he be expelled? li weihua, chairman of the central evaluation committee of the people's party, said on the 8th that "prosecution does not mean that something will happen." as for the rumor that ko wen-je was recently ordered by the court to be released without bail, he told the party that if he went to jail again, he would give the party an "explanation." zhou yuxiu, secretary-general of the people's party, refuted that there was no such explanation, and even asked, "if you didn't tell me, will you tell the outside world?"

it is said that after ko wen-je was released without bail, he promised the party privately that if he went to jail again, he would give the party an explanation as soon as possible. some members of the people's party interpreted that when ko wen-je's lawyers met with him in the detention center recently, ko wen-je might have proposed the idea of ​​resigning as party chairman to stop the bleeding for the people's party. in response to this, zhou yuxiu said yesterday, "there is no such explanation. i don't know where this information came from. they didn't tell me. would they tell the outside world?"

the legal community also stated that ko wen-je was detained and not allowed to see anyone except his lawyer to discuss judicial offense and defense. no one else was allowed to visit him, and the entire process would be recorded, making it difficult to pass on messages to the outside.

if ko wen-je is prosecuted, will the central evaluation committee expel the party chairman? li weihua, chairman of the central evaluation committee, responded that the chairman is currently on leave and cannot predict what the final situation will be. however, according to the party constitution and evaluation regulations, "prosecution does not mean that something will happen." the key point is that this part still depends on the meeting of the central evaluation committee. the central evaluation committee has set up an investigation team and will conduct an evaluation based on the progress and existing system. only then will it be handled according to the procedures.

as for the rumor that ko wen-je once said that if something happened to him and people's party legislator huang shanshan, he would hand over the party affairs to huang kuo-chang, the leader of the people's party's public opinion organization caucus; huang shanshan is currently suspended from the party, but huang held a meeting with ko wen-je's staff to discuss, which was interpreted as a "double huang dispute"? in response, huang kuo-chang said that there have been too many unfounded, various speculations and rumors in the past period of time. at this moment, the people's party is united and everyone is exerting their strongest strength in their own jobs.

huang emphasized that the central emergency response group of the people's party has established a stable discussion and decision-making mechanism, and party affairs are progressing normally under the leadership of zhou yuxiu. the outside world's manipulation can be stopped "because it will be useless."

cai bi-ru, a former people's party legislator and current taichung city government advisor, called on two tour buses to take about 60 people to the north to attend the people's party's opening rally on the 8th. cai bi-ru called on supporters present to find the original intention of founding the party, and then they will be as resilient as grass and survive this storm. regarding the voices in the party hoping that she would go north to regroup, she said that she is not qualified at present, but if the party really needs her in the future, as a party member, she will definitely prioritize the needs of the party.

tsai bi-ru showed her high popularity at the scene on the 8th, and the young grasses cheered immediately. she also high-fived and shook hands with the young grasses one by one, and shouted to cheer for them with a smile on her face. the young grasses were very excited to see tsai bi-ru.

tsai bi-ru said that the taiwanese people have already used elections to determine the value of the existence of the third force, and they cannot go back to the past of "only caring about blue and green, without right and wrong." she emphasized that the people's party has an unshirkable responsibility for taiwan's future. on the road of new politics, it is their responsibility to rebuild the people's trust in politicians.
