A new slate of party chairmen was announced by the New Power Party (NPP) yesterday following internal party elections, with the party’s executive chairman to be announced today.

In order of support, the new slate includes the party’s current executive chairman Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌), Legislator Freddy Lim (林昶佐), director Ko I-chen (柯一正), author Neil Peng (馮光遠), Legislator Kawlo Iyun Pacidal, Lin Feng-jeng (林峰正) and author Lin Shih-yu (林世煜).

Ko and Kawlo are new additions to the slate, while former legislator Hsu Yung-ming (徐永明) and lawyer Huang Hsiu-chen (黃秀禎) chose not to stand for re-election.
The internal election followed promises by the party to hold chairmen elections after every national poll, with almost 44 percent of the party’s 2,094 members casting their ballots on 33 candidates.

Party members are eligible to vote for all approved candidates, with the seven candidates receiving the highest tally of votes forming the board.     [FULL  STORY]
