The Vice-President of the Control Yuan has been vacant for a long time. Today, President Tsai Ing-wen nominated the secretary-general of the People’s First Party, Li Hongjun, as the Supervisory Committee member and as the Vice-President. The speech on the personnel case was delivered to the Legislative Yuan this morning. The President of the Legislative Yuan, You Xikun, convened the ruling and opposition parties to negotiate on the 6th to discuss the case of “Budget and Comprehensive Account of Subsidiary Units of the 111 Central Government General Budget of the Republic of China 1 Business and Non-Business Parts”, and to discuss matters related to the Legislative Yuan’s deliberation in response to the development of the epidemic. Before the negotiation ended, Ke Jianming, the general leader of the DPP Legislative Yuan, mentioned that the speech on the nomination of the Vice President of the Supervisory Yuan will be sent to the Legislative Yuan.
President Tsai today nominated Li Hongjun as a supervisory committee member and vice president, and he will be appointed after consultation with the Legislative Yuan.
Li Hongjun, 62 years old this year, is the current secretary-general of the People First Party and is a famous political brother with former interior minister Li Hongyuan. Li Hongjun was re-elected as a member of the Legislative Council for five consecutive terms, and he also served as the general convener of the Legislative Yuan of the People First Party. In 2001, Li Hongjun was persuaded to run for the legislature under the visit of Soong Chuyu, the chairman of the People’s First Party. Until the 2020 general election, he missed the sixth consecutive hegemony because the party vote of the People’s First Party failed to exceed 5%.
