(Central News Agency reporter Liu Guanting, Taipei, 17.) After the Kuomintang lost the presidential election, party leader Zhu Lilun said today he could have left unattached, but he heard a louder voice urging him to stand firm . He emphasized that he would take all responsibility, endure humiliation, bear the burden and fight steadfastly until the end of his term.
Democratic Progressive Party presidential candidate Lai Qingde won the 2024 presidential election. The Kuomintang will remain in opposition. There are voices within the Kuomintang calling for Zhu Lilun’s resignation. The Deep Blue Group and the Blue Sky Action Alliance also protested in front of the Kuomintang Central Party headquarters today, loudly demanding Zhu Lilun. Knowing where to go and what to do, he immediately resigned from the position of party leader.
Zhu Lilun said at the regular meeting of the Kuomintang Central Committee in the afternoon that reform has seen the light of day and unity has been consolidated. He called on everyone not to disband the group and lose ambition. The revolution has not yet succeeded and comrades still have to work hard.
Zhu Lilun said that this period as party chairman was the most difficult and arduous task for him in his more than 20 years in politics. There was absolutely no glamour, no popularity and every day was full of loss, debt, commitment and sacrifice. He could have just left without any attachment, but he heard a louder voice telling him to stand firm and move on and not just leave without regrets to go.
Zhu Lilun pointed out that during this period, he has worked hard with like-minded partners to win back the local elections. This election reclaimed the largest party in Congress, but unfortunately the presidential election failed to accomplish this task. We must think carefully and never shirk responsibility, target anyone, or avoid anyone.
Zhu Lilun said that the new Congress will face great challenges from February 1st and we must give it our all. He also knows that we must seriously address the liquidation and counterattack of the Democratic Progressive Party after the election, and it is very important that in the rare event of unity won, the KMT cannot afford further confrontation.
Zhu Lilun stressed that the Kuomintang must continue to reform, the pace of renewal must not stop and must go faster. He will accept all suggestions and criticisms, bear all responsibilities on his shoulders, and continue to bear the burden of humiliation and reform and cultivate more talents. He will fight steadfastly until the end of your term.
Zhu Lilun said that New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi and KMT lawmakers will travel to various counties and cities from the 19th to hold gratitude tea parties and listen to grassroots opinions as an important basis for review, introspection and reform ; in the face of the challenges of the new Congress, he and the KMT will divide regardless of the division. Venezuela’s Han Kuo-yu and Kuomintang lawmakers have maintained close contact. The first discussion meeting of the elected legislators will take place on the 22nd. Everyone must work together to build consensus, unite and face the challenges of the future. (Editors: Huang Guolun, Su Zhizong) 1130117
