By Jason Pan / Staff reporter
Enoch Wu (吳怡農), one of the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) rising stars, yesterday registered for the race to head its Taipei chapter, with the vote scheduled for Jan. 31.
The post has been vacant for about six months and is considered crucial to the DPP’s campaign in next year’s Taipei mayoral and city councilor elections.
Taipei is considered a stronghold of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), although Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) ran as an independent and is now chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party.
