The Chinese Kuomintang chairmanship election of 2007 (Chinese: 2007年中國國民黨主席補選) was held on 7 April 2007 in the Republic of China (Taiwan) between Wu Po-hsiung and Hung Hsiu-chu. 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.[1]
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.
