The vice chairman of the Kuomintang is the deputy to the chairman of the Kuomintang. The vice chairman is also an ex officio attendee of the National Congress, the plenary session of the Central Committee and the meeting of the Central Standing Committee.[1]

On August 18, 1993, the 14th National Congress of the Kuomintang passed an amendment to the Kuomintang Constitution, adding “a number of vice chairmen” to be nominated by the chairman and appointed with the approval of the National Congress.[2] On September 6, 2020, the provisions on vice chairmen in the Kuomintang Constitution were changed from “must appoint a vice chairman” to “may appoint a vice-chairman”, allowing the chairman not to appoint a vice chairman.[3]
