KMT, PFP in Merger Talks

Yesterday in Taipei, Taiwan's Kuomintang (KMT) and People First Party (PFP) held their first ever talks on the possibility of a merger between the two parties, according to Xinhua News Agency today.

Interest in a merger was reignited after the local elections in Taiwan on December 3, in which KMT candidates won 14 of 23 mayoral positions.

A five-member PFP team held the closed-door meeting with KMT Chairman Ma Ying-jeou and other senior KMT officials.

The talks are merely a preparatory meeting for an upcoming summit, said a KMT spokesperson.

There are still many issues that could hinder a possible merger, such as the future position of PFP Chairman James Soong, according to local media.

The chairmen of both parties are scheduled to meet on December 12.
