The Kuomintang chairmanship election of 2016 (Chinese: 2016年中國國民黨主席補選) was held on 26 March 2016 in Taiwan. This was the sixth direct election of the party leader in Kuomintang history. All registered, due-paying KMT party members were eligible to vote.
The party leadership by-election was called after Kuomintang presidential candidate Eric Chu lost the 2016 election to Democratic Progressive Party candidate Tsai Ing-wen. Chu, who had been elected as KMT leader a year prior, subsequently resigned his post. On 21 January, a day after Hung Hsiu-chu announced her candidacy, Hau Lung-pin declared his interest in the position.Apollo Chen, Chung Hsiao-ping, and Lee Hsin also joined the race, as did New Party chairman Yok Mu-ming, whom the KMT immediately declared ineligible.
The registration period for the election began on 26 January. Lee Hsin became the first to complete the process. Yok Mu-ming did not file his proposed candidacy, as he had been barred from doing so by the KMT the previous day. Central Advisory Committee member Chou Kai-lun filed the required documentation, but did not pay the fee, nullifying his candidacy. On 27 January, Apollo Chen, Chen Ming-yi, Hung Hsiu-chu, acting chair Huang Min-hui, and Lin Jung-te began registration. Hau Lung-pin dropped out, and Chung Hsiao-ping was rejected because he had not yet served on the party's Central Committee. On 29 January, Chen Ming-yi withdrew his candidacy.
