In the past, the nominating process in the KMT was a "black box." That is to say that the intra-party decision-making process was not open to the outside, leading some people to believe that objective stan dards and convincing reasons for deciding who got nominated were lacking.
以往，執政黨公職人員與民意代表候選人提名辦法，被稱為「黑箱」作業，也就是說黨內提名的決策過程並不向外公佈，因此往往被認為欠缺客觀標準與令人信服之理由。
