Wang Jin-pyng

Wang Jin-pyng (Chinese: 王金平; pinyin: Wáng Jīnpíng; born March 17, 1941), is a Taiwanese politician. He is the incumbent President of the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China since 1999, which makes him the longest-serving one. Once a leading figure of the Kuomintang (KMT), Wang is considered to be soft-spoken and a conciliatory figure who often brokered deals with the KMT and opposition DPP. He was replaced by Democratic Progressive Party's Su Jia-chyuan as President of the Legislative Yuan after a decisive victory for the DPP in the 2016 election.
