TheTaiwan Nationalist Party (TNP;Chinese:台灣國民黨;pinyin:Táiwān Guómíndǎng) was a political party officially registered on 27 May 2007, being the 127th legal political party inTaiwan.[1] The party was founded in July 2005 by activists supportive ofTaiwanese independence.[2] It has been dissolved by theMinistry of the Interior.[3]
Kan Nai-ti (甘乃迪) became the first chairperson of the Taiwan Nationalist Party on 30 July 2005 inTaoyuan. Lacking in preparations, it was not legalised until 27 May 2015.[1] Before registration, there was a suggestion to change the name to distinguish from theKuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) from theMinistry of the Interior.
On 29 April 2020, the Taiwan Nationalist Party was dissolved by theMinistry of the Interior for failing to comply with the requirements of the Political Parties Act.[3]
The Taiwan Nationalist Party stated it wascentrist and supportedTaiwanese nationalism.[4] The party's core ideology focused on promoting Taiwanese independence and the establishment of Taiwan as ade juresovereign nation, separate from the People's Republic of China.[2]
This stance aligned with the broaderTaiwanese independence movement, which emphasizes Taiwan’s distinct cultural and political identity and supports the formal declaration of anindependent Taiwanese state.
Officially registered in 2007 and dissolved in 2020, the Taiwan Nationalist Party did not participated in Taiwan's national-level elections. Instead, it focused on local politics, though with limited success.
The TNP fielded candidates in the2009 Taiwanese local elections for theTaoyuan County. The party secured only 208 votes, accounting for <0.01% of the total, and did not win any seats in county and city councils.
