  • Taiwan People's Party Chairman Huang Kuo-chang apologized for recent party turmoil and promised to review and improve.

  • Media personality Wu Ching-yi criticized Ko's comment as insincere, suggesting he was being sidelined and that those leaving the party were his former associates.

The Taiwan People's Party (TPP) is currently navigating a turbulent period, marked by a wave of local members leaving the party. Chairman Huang Kuo-chang has publicly acknowledged the distress this has caused supporters and has vowed to address the issues.

Former party chairman and founder, Ko Wen-je, offered a message of solidarity to Huang, acknowledging the difficulties of leadership and encouraging him to 'hold on' for the sake of the party and Taiwan. This gesture, however, was met with sharp criticism from media personality Wu Ching-yi.

Wu sarcastically dismissed Ko's comment as a performance, questioning its authenticity and suggesting that Ko himself is being marginalized within the party. She pointed to the departing members as 'Ko's army,' implying a deeper internal conflict and Ko's diminished influence. This internal dynamic is a key point of discussion among the public, with many weighing in on the sincerity of the leaders' exchanges.
