Party history

The party was founded by political activist and publicist Chen Yiqi ( 陳奕 齊 ) and some like-minded people in Kaohsiung. The founders were originally supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party , but came to the view that the younger generation should be more involved in Taiwan's politics. The party founders were particularly concerned about the policy of rapprochement between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China under President Ma Ying-jeou ( Kuomintang , KMT). They assumed that the KMT government's policy of "one China - two interpretations" (the short version of the so-called consensus of 1992 ) would ultimately end in a situation of " one country, two systems ". The Kuomintang is also not a “Taiwanese party”, but a “Chinese party”. The party founders wanted to found a “radical” political force and borrowed the characters 基 from the term “fundamental” ( 基本的 , Jīběn de ) and 進 from the term “progressive” ( 進步 , Jìnbù ) and added these to the new party name 基 進 黨 , Jījìn dǎng together ( 黨 , dǎng  - "party"). This party, which operated under the English name Radical Wings , was founded on May 15, 2016 in Kaohsiung.

In order to make its independence vis-à-vis the DPP even more visible, and not just to be seen as its radical wing, the party later added the term 台灣 , Táiwān and changed the English title to Taiwan Statebuilding Party .

Legislative yuan election results so far

In the 2020 general election , the party won a seat through a direct mandate in the Taichung-II constituency. Chen Po-wei became the party's first MP to join the Legislative Yuan .
