Eric Chu citations

Eric Chu ou Chu Li-luan est un homme politique taïwanais né le 7 juin 1961 à Bade dans le comté de Taoyuan. Membre du Kuomintang , il devient en 2009 vice premier ministre et ministre de la protection des consommateurs. En 2010, Chu est élu maire de New Taipei et président du KMT en janvier 2015. Après son large échec à l'élection présidentielle de 2016, il démissionne de la présidence du KMT.

En novembre 2010, Chu se présente à la mairie de New Taipei et bat la candidate du Parti démocrate progressiste , Tsai Ing-wen. Chu est réélu en novembre 2014 face à Yu Shyi-kun du Minjindang.

En juillet 2015, Hung Hsiu-chu reçoit la nomination du KMT pour l'élection présidentielle de janvier 2016 mais devant les faibles scores de Hung dans les sondages l'opposant à Tsai Ing-wen , le KMT décide de tenir un nouveau congrès national en octobre 2015 pour choisir un nouveau candidat. Lors de ce congrès, la candidature de Hung est annulée et Chu est choisi comme nouveau candidat du parti.

Une fois choisi candidat, Chu se retire temporairement du poste de maire de New Taipei et laisse la place à Hou You-yi.

Le 16 janvier 2016, Chu est largement battu par Tsai Ing-wen et obtient 31,04 % des voix. Le KMT perd aussi les élections législatives tenues à la même date et Chu annonce sa démission du poste de président du KMT. Il est remplacé à titre intérimaire par Huang Ming-hui, puis à partir d'une élection des membres du parti en mars, par Hung Hsiu-chu.
