Former Vice President Annette Lu appears to be quitting the D-P-P after the
party passed her over and nominated lawmaker Pasuya Yao as its Taipei mayoral
candidate.

In a rather cryptic statement issued by her office, Lu said that when a
“political party has lost its principles and soul, it is better to leave than
to stay in pain.”

The statement went on to say that when “people with differing ideas cannot
work together …. bye, bye, DPP.”

However, Lu’s office is not responding to questions about whether the
statement means Lu will renounce her D-P-P membership.

The D-P-P has responded with a short statement, saying simply that the former
vice president’s decision was regrettable but that the party will respect it.    [SOURCE]
