Hsu Hsin-ying

Hsu contested the Hsinchu County magistracy in 2018.

Following her loss to Yang Wen-ke, Hsu resigned the Minkuotang leadership on 29 November 2018, and the party merged into the Congress Party Alliance on 25 January 2019.

Hsu ran for reelection in Hsinchu County until People First Party chairman James Soong named her the vice presidential candidate for his 2016 presidential campaign in November 2015. The PFP–MKT coalition finished third in the presidential election and the MKT lost its only seat in the Legislative Yuan.

Hsu first ran for office in 2005, for a position on the Hsinchu County Council, for which she was defeated. She organized a bid for the Legislative Yuan in 2008, resulting in the same outcome. After joining the Kuomintang in 2009, she won and served on the county council, before winning a Legislative Yuan seat in the 2012 elections as a member of the Kuomintang. In that election, Hsu won 171,466 votes, the most of any one candidate that year. Hsu was reelected to the KMT's Central Standing Committee in August 2014, but did not serve a full one-year term. Instead, she split from the party in January 2015, and founded the Minkuotang (MKT) in March, serving as the MKT's first chair.

Hsu Hsin-ying (Chinese: 徐欣瑩 ; pinyin: Xú Xīnyíng ; born 23 April 1972) is a Taiwanese politician. Prior to joining the Kuomintang (KMT) in 2009, Hsu was an independent. She left the KMT to found the Minkuotang (MKT) in 2015. In 2019, the MKT was absorbed by the Congress Party Alliance.
