The passage of the parliamentary reform bills has greatly boosted morale among grassroots supporters of the Kuomintang (KMT), praising the party for finally standing firm and doing something for the country. The KMT has shown unity through this battle. Meanwhile, KMT's Jiang Yizhen criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for claiming there was no discussion on the reform bills, pointing out that there were indeed public hearings and committee discussions involving various lawmakers. With regards to KMT's stance on proposals such as abolishing the Control Yuan or the three transport laws in eastern Taiwan, Jiang emphasized that these were subjects of internal party discussions that respect the Five Powers Constitution. The article also touches on the upcoming KMT chairman election, indicating potential contenders like Han Kuo-yu and Lu Shiow-yen who could challenge incumbent Eric Chu in 2025.
