TAIPEI (Reuters) – Terry Gou, chairman of Apple supplier Foxconn, will retain a seat on the company’s proposed board, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday, as he plans to run for Taiwan’s presidential election.
Gou announced last month that he would contest Taiwan’s presidential election in January, seeking to represent the China-friendly opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party – a vote that comes after a period of increasing tension between Beijing and Taipei.
