running mate, former Council of Labor Affairs minister Jennifer Wang (王如玄), yesterday officially registered their ticket at the Central Election Commission, as labor activists demonstrated outside.
Chu and Wang, accompanied by KMT Secretary-General Lee Shu-chuan (李四川), Deputy Secretary-General Chiang Cheng-yen (江政彥) and Culture and Communications Committee director-general Lin Yi-hua (林奕華), completed the registration process at about 9:05am.
Asked whether the time and date that they registered had been picked for auspicious reasons, Chu said he has tried to keep his mind at ease given that he and Wang are fighting against the tide.
“Every day is an auspicious day. We are free this morning, so we chose to register our candidacy now,” Chu said. [FULL STORY]
