KMT legislator joins Farmers Party
KMT legislator Ke Jun-hsiung (柯俊雄) announced that he's joined the Taiwan Farmers Party last night. He is still a KMT member, however, and it's unclear what penalty the party will impose. Hopefully, this will be the first of several such defections.

So there was one KMT legislator who left and sat as an independent, right? How many more after this need to leave before the KMT and PFP lose control of the legislative?
Also, who is this guy? One of the "pro-Wang" types or someone from a different faction?
Ke Jun-hsiung (柯俊雄) was a famous movie star during about 1970~80s. He failed to be nominated as a next legislative candidate by KMT, so in order to enter the Legislative Yuan for next term he has to switch party.
I remember reading that DPP was contacting him for a possible switching over about 2 or 3 months ago. I knew Ke is deep-blue so I was shocked by DPP's move.
He is not pro-Wang. In this news article today:
