DPP secretary-general tenders resignation

Wu, who returned to the post eight months ago when Tsai asked him to help with the campaign for the Dec. 5 local elections, said that he was both physically and mentally exhausted after the election battle.

“I agreed to come back from retirement and work for the DPP for the last time because I couldn't bear to see the situation the DPP was in at that time,” Wu said.

According to Wu, the DPP needs to give the younger generation a chance to perform, and he has confidence in them judging from how well young candidates did in last Saturday's local elections in which the DPP retained three county magistrate seats and took Yilan County back from the ruling Kuomintang.

At a breakfast meeting held by DPP Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen Tuesday morning to thank DPP staff involved in the election campaign, Tsai expressed her gratitude to Wu, whom she described as the campaign's hardest worker.

Tsai told the Central News Agency that Wu's resignation has sent her into deep contemplation but she will do all she can to retain him in his position.
