During an extraordinary meeting of the KMT Central Standing Committee (CSC) this afternoon, the CSC approved a party list of 34 at-large legislative candidates. 

Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng topped the party list as expected. He is followed by two nominees with education backgrounds; i.e., Ko Chih-en (柯志恩), a professor of educational psychology at Tamkang University, and Chen Yi-ming (陳宜民), vice president of Kaohsiung Medical University. 

Other nominees include Huang Chao-shun (黃昭順), a legislator and one of the KMT’s deputy secretaries-general, John Wu (吳志揚), a former Taoyuan County Executive, Chang Li-shan (張麗善), a former legislator from Yunlin County, and Hsu Chen-wei (徐榛蔚), wife of incumbent Hualien County Executive Fu Kun-chi (傅崐萁). They were nominated because the party central hoped that they could garner support for the KMT in county/city mayoral elections in 2018. 

Chairman Eric Chu stated that the nominations could not satisfy everyone, but the KMT would do its utmost to reform the Legislative Yuan, cultivate talents for the 2018 local elections and the 2020 legislative elections, and maintain professional representation in the Legislative Yuan.
