Former New Power Party chairman Huang Kuo-chang in Hsinchu County yesterday answers a question about whether he intends to stand for party chairman again. Following Lai, Hong Kong police arrested advocacy group members Andy Li (李宇軒) of Hong Kong Story and Lee Tsung-tzu (李宗澤) and now-disbanded Demosisto founding member Agnes Chow (周庭) on charges of colluding with foreign forces. “We strongly condemn this misuse of the Hong Kong National Security Law to suppress dissidents,” the NPP said. Addressing speculation that former NPP executive chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) might be tapped for the position again, NPP caucus whip Chiu Hsien-chih (邱顯智) yesterday said there were no such plans at present. Several party members have expressed an interest in running for chairperson, and the party hopes a new chairperson would be chosen quickly, he said.
