After almost five years of flirting with the idea and two failed nomination bids, the founder of Apple’s biggest supplier is running to be Taiwan’s president.
Terry Gou, Foxconn’s founder and former chair, announced Monday that he would run as an independent candidate in Taiwan’s presidential elections next January after his second attempt to lead the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) once again proved futile. Gou joins a crowded race to replace outgoing president Tsai Ing-wen, who is ineligible to run again due to term limits.
