The Kuomintang, abbreviated as the KMT is one of the 2 traditional main parties of the Republic, along with the DPP. The KMT was designed to be the more right-wing and traditionalist option. Historically, the KMT supported the first work program, running the government more efficiently, and in general spending as much effort as possible working towards national goals. In recent months, the KMT was in government for 2 months, in a coalition with New Dawn in August and by itself in September. The KMT campaigned heavily about the Records and the second work program. The KMT lost the October elections to the DPP. The KMT suffered a split before the October elections with the right wing of the party breaking off to form the Reform Party, which supports working constantly. In May of 2025, a party congress adopted Conservative Relationism as an official policy in order to counter the success of Horizons. However, following the collapse of Horizons and the arrest of party president Friedrich Merz, this new policy was reversed by the new leader, Peter Dutton. The party re-formed the United List with Reform in the leadup to the June regular election. The KMT finally re-entered government after the June regular election and became a junior member of the National Unity Government. After the July election, the party went back into opposition, and became dormant after the July coup. The party returned to campaign in favor of the new constitution, supporting the Forward Party regime.
