The Legislative Yuan exercised its confirmation power over the Examination Yuan nominees today. In order to avoid the rejection of certain Examination nominees as happened with Control Yuan nominees last week, the Presidential Office and the KMT party central, including President Ma Ying-jeou, Vice President Vincent Siew, Speaker of the Legislative Yuan Wang Jin-pyng, and KMT Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung, actively solicited legislators’ support for the nominations of the Examination Yuan. Their goal was the confirmation of all of the nominations for vice president and 19 members of the Examination Yuan.

When voting was completed, Wu Chin-lin was confirmed as Vice President of Examination Yuan; he gained 86 ayes, 22 nays, and 4 invalid votes. A minimum of 57 votes was required for confirmation. Meanwhile, the Legislative Yuan confirmed the 19 nominees for members of the Examination Yuan.

Chang Chun-yen, nominee for President of Examination Yuan, had earlier withdrawn from the nomination.
