Is the battle for next year's party chairmanship really starting? Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yen's recent actions, including visiting the US under the guise of investment promotion and meeting with various officials, indicate a strong desire for the party leadership position. This poses a threat to current chairman Chu Li-lun, prompting rumors that Chu's camp is strategizing to ally with Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu to counter Lu. KMT spokespersons, however, claim that the discussion of selecting the party chair is premature amidst other political activities. The alliances and movements suggest a competitive race ahead in the KMT for the leadership position.
