The new KMT Chair swear to re-unite the fractioned party and beat the incumbent DPP in the incoming election.
Presenter: Eric Chu assumed his new role of Kuomintang chair on Oct. 5. Many of his predecessors including Ma Ying-jeou, Wu Den-yih, Wu Poh-hsiung and Hung Hsiu-chu were in attendance at the ceremony. Chu said the KMT is a united team that will fight for what it believes in, and it will use the democratic process to defeat the Democratic Progressive Party.
"Hand over the seal.”
With past Kuomintang chairs including Ma Ying-jeou, Wu Den-yih, Wu Poh-hsiung, and Hung Hsiu-chu looking on, Eric Chu is sworn in as the party's new chair. Chu said the KMT is a united team that will fight for what it believes in, and it will never take a day off from using the democratic process to defeat the Democratic Progressive Party.
Eric Chu, Incoming KMT Chair:”Through democratic processes like the supervision of the legislature; the checks and balances of local governments; and election, recall, and referendum laws, we will defeat and triumph over the DPP.”
This is Chu's second time serving as party chair. He says his first step is bringing lost party members back into the fold. He also thanked his predecessor, Johnny Chiang, for his 18 months of hard work.
Eric Chu, Incoming KMT Chair:” With the election over, we start anew united in our fight.”
Johnny Chiang, Outgoing KMT Chair:”This election proves that the KMT is a mature democratic party. It is a party with fierce competition, but once the election is over we put it behind us and move forward as a united force.”
Chu's first challenge as party chair will be the upcoming recall election of lawmaker Chen Po-wei, followed by the four national referendums in December. The recall election and referendums could turn out to be a preview of how the KMT will perform in the 2022 and 2024 elections.
「移交印信。」
在國民黨歷任黨主席馬英九、吳敦義、吳伯雄和洪秀柱等人的面前接下印信，朱立倫正式就任國民黨主席，朱立倫鄭重宣示，國民黨是團結和戰鬥的團隊，未來要透過民主程序，壓制、打敗民進黨，沒有懈怠的一天。
新任國民黨主席 朱立倫：「透過國會的監督，地方的制衡，以及包括選舉罷免公投，每一項的民主程序來，真正的壓制打敗勝過民進黨。」
再次回鍋就任黨主席，朱立倫團結國民黨的第一步就是要找回失聯黨員，推動黨員回娘家計畫，也特別感謝前主席江啟臣一年半來的辛勞。
新任國民黨主席 朱立倫：「投票結束之後，我們就是團結的開始，就是戰鬥的開始。」
前國民黨主席 江啟臣：「這次的選舉再次證明，國民黨是一個成熟的民主政黨，是一個可以競爭激烈，但是又可以迅速凝聚，一致對外的政黨。」
朱立倫就任黨主席後，面對的第一戰就是台中立委陳柏惟的罷免案，之後還有12月的四項全國性公投，朱立倫揚言要透過民主程序打敗民進黨，罷免案和公投案這兩項也被視為國民黨2022和2024大選的前哨戰。
