The Kuomintang chairmanship election of 2015 (Chinese: 2015年中國國民黨主席補選) was held on 17 January 2015 in Taiwan. This was the fifth direct election of the chairman in the Kuomintang history. All registered, due-paying KMT party members were eligible to vote.
The election was called after Ma Ying-jeou resigned from the Kuomintang Chairmanship to take responsibility for the party's heavy losses during the local elections held on 29 November 2014. Six KMT members, among them Clara Chou and Lee Hsin, attempted to register for the election, but five were rejected.Eric Chu, who had just been reelected Mayor of New Taipei in the November elections, was the only officially confirmed candidate.
Chu garnered 99.61% of all votes, setting a new KMT record for percentage of votes won.
