No party action against Ko in response to ruling: TPPStaff writer, with CNAThe opposition Taiwan People's Party (TPP) has characterized the case involving former chairman Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) as "political prosecution," and therefore there would be no expulsion or disciplinary action against the party's founder, TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) said today. Taiwan People's Party Chairman Huang Kuo-chang, right, speaks as former party chairman Ko Wen-je looks on at a news conference in Taipei yesterday. Huang said the party has made its position clear, which is that Ko's case constitutes political targeting and persecution by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government. "Therefore, there is, of course, no issue of expulsion from the party or internal disciplinary action," he said. Huang added that party disciplinary measures are meant to address contraventions of internal integrity rules and not intended to deal with members who are subject to political persecution or judicial targeting.
