By Lee I-chia / Staff reporterTaipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) yesterday said that if everything goes well and he remains healthy, he plans to run for president in 2024. Ko’s remarks came after his close aide, former Taipei City Government adviser Tsai Pi-ju (蔡壁如), on Tuesday during another interview said that Ko is likely to run for president in 2024. In the interview, Ko was asked why he decided not to run in this presidential election, as he had been viewed as a strong contender. The host asked if Ko meant he would run for president in 2024. “If everything goes well, I will run [for president],” he said, adding that he would gradually prepare for that goal.
