Taiwanese ruling party chairman Eric Chu won’t know for more than a month the results of his long-shot bid to win the island’s presidency, but he’s already discussing how his party can win back the youth vote after the election.

"We should do some reform," Chu said on Friday in an interview at the Kuomintang’s party headquarters. "We should change our policy and try to get closer to the younger generation, to the people. And do a lot of change to make our policy more attractive."
