Gou expressed his congratulations to Hou on his Facebook page and said he would do his most to help Hou achieve victory in the coming election. As a consolation to agreeing to Hou's selection as the KMT's prime candidate, Gou has been reportedly offered a spot on the ticket as the vice presidential candidate, but he has yet to officially agree to this role
