KMT INFIGHTING OVER NOMINATION OF CENTRAL STANDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS|中央委員誰提名? 洪.吳支持者僵持不下

KMT infighting continues even after the chair election has concluded, this time over the timeline for nominating Central Standing Committee members. Central Standing Committee members who support chairman-elect Wu Den-yih say that the nominations should proceed only when the new chair and party representatives take office on August 20. However, Hung Hsiu-chu is refusing to compromise on the issue and has stopped holding Central Standing Committee meetings. She has also threatened to resign from her post ahead of time in July. Wu said that he hopes the two sides can continue discussing the issue. KMT Chair-elect Wu Den-yih's visit to current chair Hung Hsiu-chu seemed to go smoothly. However, tensions are rising regarding the transition of power in the party. Several KMT Central Standing Committee members were planning to propose delaying Central Committee member elections to after Wu takes office on August 20, but Hung responded by canceling the Central Standing Committee meeting. ==YAO CHIANG-LIN KMT Central Standing Committee Member== The chair has been very disrespectful to the Central Standing Committee. It's wrong. Wu was elected on May 20. The KMT had announced last year that the chair must nominate Central Committee candidates by June 16, committee elections will take place on July 8, and then Central Standing Committee members will be chosen from the Central Committee. The results of the committee election will be crucial to the party's balance of power, so Wu supporters were planning to propose delaying the process. Hung was unhappy about the plan and threatened to quit early as chair. ==HU WEN-CHI Dep. Chair, KMT Culture and Communications Committee== Chairwoman Hung may be thinking about it, but we must emphasize that at this challenging time for the KMT, we still hope that Chair-elect Wu, Chairwoman Hung and the transition teams can show their political wisdom. Politics is the art of compromise. ==WU DEN-YIH KMT Chair-Elect== I respect Chairwoman Hung. She simply needs to comply with party rules. If the Central Standing Committee passes the list in early June, she can go ahead and announce it and wait two months. Then the transition can be a little earlier. Wu pointed out that the party rules stipulate that Central Committee candidate lists should be announced two months in advance of the election, and said that he respects Chairwoman Hung. Hung said in a media interview that the Wu camp's machinations were to avoid her fate of being blocked at every turn by the Standing Committee. She said that she hoped there was still room for discussion.
