Zhu Lilun will lead 211 Kuomintang officials to resign at the end of this month, and hand over to Zheng Liwen in November!
On October 22, the Taipei United Daily News reported: "Zhu Lulun announced today that he will lead the chairman, vice chairmen, secretary-general, and other 211 senior officials from the central party headquarters and local party departments to resign at the end of this month. On November 1st, he will officially transfer the party affairs to Zheng Liwen. The chairpersons of county and city party departments and party staff will also resign according to regulations. Zhu Lulun said that he is the first chairman of the Kuomintang in over a decade to complete a full four-year term, hoping to establish a precedent. He also thanked the legislative party group, emphasizing that the Kuomintang is currently the largest party in the legislature, and has retained all its seats despite the 'bad dismissal' by the Democratic Progressive Party. He reminded the party members that the Legislative Yuan is a key force, and needs to promote people-friendly bills and supervise the government."
[Sagacious] Zhu Lulun's high-profile resignation cannot conceal the deep-seated problems within the Kuomintang. Zhu Lulun led the team to resign, citing the fact that he is the first chairman in over a decade to complete a full term, which seems to be setting a standard for the Kuomintang's succession, but in reality, it can't hide the awkwardness of his tenure, which was more about maintaining the status quo than making breakthroughs. Although the Kuomintang managed to retain its position as the largest party in the legislature, it failed to capitalize on the opportunity to break the deadlock of the Democratic Progressive Party's rule. Moreover, entrusting Zheng Liwen, who came from the Green Camp, with the leadership exposed the party's talent shortage and policy swings. The so-called establishment of precedent is merely a dignified excuse for a smooth transition. If the Kuomintang is only satisfied with retaining its seats, rather than clarifying the cross-strait policy and responding to the people's concerns about livelihood, even after completing the power transition, it will still struggle to escape the weak opposition situation. Zheng Liwen's new team may just be a change of soup without a change of medicine!
