柯文哲
Ko Wen-je (Chinese: 柯文哲; born 6 August 1959), also known by his nickname, Ko P, is a Taiwanese politician, physician, and transplant surgeon who served as the 13th mayor of Taipei from 2014 to 2022. He founded the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) in 2019 and was the party's first chairman until 2025.
A specialist in intensive care medicine, Ko earned a doctorate from National Taiwan University in 2002, became a surgeon at National Taiwan University Hospital, and taught as a professor at the National Taiwan University College of Medicine. He played leading roles in standardizing organ transplant procedures in Taiwan and pioneered the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in Taiwan. Apart from his practice, he is known for his numerous media appearances and interviews as a social and political commentator.
Ko ran as an independent candidate in both the 2014 and 2018 Taipei mayoral elections. After serving two terms as mayor, he ran as the TPP nominee in the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election with Cynthia Wu as his running mate. He presented his campaign as a "third way" between the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT), the two parties that have traditionally dominated Taiwan's political landscape. Ko received 26.46% of the popular vote in the 2024 presidential election held in January 2024.
In August 2024, prosecutors detained Ko to investigate a property development project from his time as mayor, and indicted him on bribery and other corruption charges in December 2024. He was detained, incommunicado, until being released from detention on bail of NT$70 million (US$2.32 million) in September 2025. Ko’s detention triggered claims of political persecution and protests.
