Скачать или смотреть KMT revises party list after public furor

The KMT held an extraordinary meeting on Friday to revise a party list that sparked a strong public backlash. The new list no longer includes pro-unification talking head Chiu Yi, who said earlier Friday that he was quitting voluntarily. The list is now led by Legislator Tseng Ming-chung, who was moved up from No. 2. The former No. 1, Ye Yu-lan, was bumped down to No. 2 amid controversy over her support for Hong Kong''s riot police.KMT Chairman Wu Den-yih was brought down from No. 10 to 14, where he is more at risk of not winning a seat. When asked about the adjustment, Wu said he didn''t feel slighted. But he emphasized that he did lead the party to victory in the 2018 election, during a, quote "extremely difficult" period for the KMT. On Friday, the reception to the new list was mixed, with discontent continuing in the KMT''s youth wing.
