The Kuomintang (KMT) Wednesday appointed King Pu-tsung as the party's new secretary general.

King, former vice mayor of Taipei, replaced Chan Chun-po to take the position. Chan is now holding the post of the party's vice chairman.

The party made the decision at a Central Standing Committee meeting held in Taipei.

KMT chairman Ma Ying-jeou said he hoped the new appointment would bring fresh energy to the party and create more space and innovation for the party's reform.
