Kuomintang chairmanship election, 2007
The Chinese Kuomintang chairmanship election of 2007 (2007年中國國民黨主席補選) was held on April 7, 2007 in the Republic of China (Taiwan) between Wu Poh-hsiung and Hung Hsiu-chiu. This was the second direct election of the chairman in the Kuomintang history. All registered, due-paying KMT party members were eligible to vote. The first such direct election had occurred in 2005.
The election was triggered by the resignation of chairman Ma Ying-jeou after he was indicted for allegedly misusing mayoral funds. The Supreme Court eventually cleared Ma of all corruption charges.
