Vowing to conduct a review and internal reform, Taiwan's former ruling Kuomintang party held an extraordinary congress on Monday to appoint Huang Min-hui acting chairwoman, following the resignation of KMT chairman Eric Chu after losing the island's leadership election on Saturday.

Huang, the party's former vice-chairwoman, will temporarily take charge of party affairs till the KMT elects a new leader, the Ta Kung Pao newspaper reported on Monday.
