KMT’s Chiang throws hat into party chairperson race‘KINGMAKER’? Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Johnny Chiang announces his decision to run for a second term as party chair in Taipei yesterday. Wang was recalled as Taoyuan city councilor, while Huang remains a Kaohsiung city councilor. The party must change from within as it is challenged from without, and areas such as its cross-strait policy, its policy to foster younger members, and improvements to party finances and organization all need to change, Johnny Chiang said. Johnny Chiang defeated former Taipei mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) in the party’s chairperson by-election on March 7 last year.
