By Ann Maxon / Staff reporterKaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) yesterday said he told the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) presidential nomination panel that he is willing to join the party’s primary. Prior to the meeting, Han told reporters that he and the panel had agreed that the meeting would be private. He would propose that the primary include cellphone-based polls and a debate between all KMT candidates, he said. Chu told reporters during an interview in Taipei that the KMT needs to have an election strategy to avoid internal rifts. This could be because of competition between KMT members, so the party should have plans to ensure such rivalry unfolds in a positive manner, he said.
