After KMT lawmaker Chiang Wan-an’s shock announcement on Friday that he would not run for Taipei mayor, former KMT lawmaker Ting Shou-chung has officially thrown his hat into the ring. This morning Ting opened his campaign headquarters in the fifth attempt at running for Taipei mayor, with KMT Vice Chairman Hau Lung-pin, lawmakers and city councilors showing their support.
On the surface, it appears as if the only KMT politicians who plan to vie for this post are Ting and former Cabinet spokeswoman Cheng Li-wun. Meanwhile, the DPP’s strategy is still not clear. Currently only DPP lawmaker Pasuya Yao has expressed interest in running. [SOURCE]
