By Lee I-chia / Staff reporterFormer New Taipei City mayor Eric Chu (朱立倫) yesterday implied that he might not run in the by-election for Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chairperson. Chu made the statement on Facebook yesterday morning, beginning the post by saying: “Making Taiwan better is the KMT’s responsibility. KMT Central Standing Committee member Lin Rong-te (林榮德) has taken over as acting chairman until a new chairperson is elected on March 7. Hau announced his bid for KMT chairperson on Jan. 20 and Chiang did the same on Saturday last week. The KMT is accepting registrations to run for chairperson on Monday and Tuesday, and plans to hold the by-election on Mar.
