Vice Premier Chen Chi-mai
Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu was voted out of office in a historic first for a Taiwan mayor on Saturday. He will officially step down this coming Friday and, if there are no court challenges to the recall, the Cabinet will appoint an acting mayor to serve until the September election.
Han was the first KMT mayor for the southern city in 20 years.
On Monday, when asked about the possibility of running for Kaohsiung mayor, Vice Premier Chen said, “No matter who runs, I believe that person must love Kaohsiung and have a deep understanding of the city. I believe this is what the people of Kaohsiung hope for.” [FULL STORY]
