TPP makes preparations to elect new party chair
TPP makes preparations to elect new party chair
2025-01-02
Thursday was lawmaker Huang Kuo-chang’s first day as the acting chair of the Taiwan People’s Party, after Ko Wen-je officially resigned on Wednesday. The party is set to hold an internal election to pick a new head in coming weeks, potentially before Feb. 1. Whether Huang himself will run for election remains to be seen.

TPP acting chair
Several important decisions were made during our working meeting today. We will establish a judicial justice working group within the party central committee.
On his first day as acting chair of the TPP, Huang Kuo-chang announced the establishment of a new party working group. He declined to comment on whether he’s willing to run for election as party chair.
Ko Wen-je officially resigned as party chair on Wednesday during a central committee meeting. He bid goodbye to party officials, hugged colleagues currently in office and spoke with witnesses involved in his current legal battle, which raised concerns about collusion.

Yesterday’s meeting was fully recorded, both sound and video. It did not in any way touch upon the judicial procedures currently underway.

“Low-key” is not a word you’ll find in Ko Wen-je’s vocabulary. Everyone at his resignation is a witness in the case. Of course the general public is going to be suspicious.
The TPP reports that its official website received a large volume of applications form supporters wanting to join the party, saying that as many as 3,000 people sent in applications during Ko’s last afternoon as chair. Skeptics say the influx of people could be a plot to influence the upcoming election for chair.

No. They’re thinking too much. Only members with at least four months of seniority can vote.

We’ll see what happens. Perhaps they say they want to do the vote in February, but they only start making arrangements in March, and so the vote only really takes place in April. It’s very possible.
The party is set to hold a vote to elect a new chair, but the complexity of the endeavor could make it difficult for the matter to be settled before the proposed date of Feb. 1.

人頭黨員? 黃國昌代理主席上任 傳逾3千人申請入黨
2025-01-02
前台北市長柯文哲昨天(1/1)卸下黨主席身分，由黃國昌代理，今天(1/2)一早黃國昌就到中央黨部開晨會，被問到有沒有要參選新任黨主席，他停頓許久。而在柯文哲宣告卸任之際，民眾黨湧現入黨潮，一個下午超過3000人申請入黨，也被外界質疑是不是黨主席選舉布局的人頭黨員？

“在今天的工作會議上面，也做了幾個重要的決定，我們會在中央黨部設立司法正義的工作小組。”
民眾黨代理主席黃國昌上任第一天，就宣要成立新組織，不過，聊到有沒有意願參選新任黨主席，他屢屢停頓。
只是前一天柯文哲正式宣告辭掉黨主席，到中央黨部開會，和黨公職互相擁抱道別，證人頻頻互動，遭質疑是一場串供大會。

“昨天整場會議，我們是全程錄音錄影。完全不涉及現在正在進行當中司法程序的內容。”

“柯文哲的字典裡面應該沒有低調兩個字，包含請辭黨主席，這些都是相關的證人，所以難怪社會大眾都要懷疑可能會有串供。”
柯文哲當黨主席的最後一天，民眾黨聲稱官網湧入支持者申請"入黨"，一個下午就超過三千人申請入黨，引發外界質疑是不是有人為了布局黨主席找來的人頭黨員？
[[民眾黨秘書長 周榆修]]
“不會，想太多，因為我們的規定是滿四個月才能投票。”
[[網紅 四叉貓]]
“我們接著後續看，說不定他之後二月說要投票，結果三月開始就是跑流程，然後四月才開始正式投，那這樣會很有可能。”
黃國昌暫時代理黨主席，但新任黨主席，還是得進行改選，由於程序繁複，要趕在柯文哲說的2/1前完成選舉，恐怕困難重重，
