Ko Wen-je Resigns as Taiwan People's Party Chairman on January 1, 2025, Amid Bribery Charges; Huang Kuo-chang Named Acting Chairman
Jan 1, 2025, 11:46 AM
Ko Wen-je, the chairman of Taiwan's opposition party, the Taiwan People's Party (TPP), announced his resignation on January 1, 2025, amid ongoing legal troubles related to bribery charges. He stated that he did not want judicial proceedings to obscure the focus and hinder the development of the party, which he emphasized remains an important political force in Taiwan. Following his resignation, the TPP Central Committee appointed Legislator Huang Kuo-chang as the acting chairman. The party has criticized the investigation as political persecution and maintains that Ko is innocent, although the legal battle is expected to be prolonged. The implications of Ko's resignation are significant for the party, which has been closely associated with him.
