President Ma Ying-jeou's re-election campaign is now taking shape, with former CNA journalist Lee Chia-fei and KMT Youth Corps Director Yin Wei, assigned as co-spokespersons for Ma's campaign office. As Lee and Yin are both fresh faces under the age of 35, the arrangement is widely read as an attempt by the ruling party to solicit the support of younger voters.

After the KMT officially nominated President Ma Ying-jeou as its 2012 presidential candidate, Ma set about putting together a campaign team.

Presidential spokesperson Luo Chih-chiang will be joining the team, while former Central News Agency journalist Lee Chia-fei and KMT Youth Corps Director Yin Wei will be acting as campaign office spokespersons.

KMT spokesperson Fan-Chiang Tai-ji will be replacing Luo at the Presidential Office.

Luo, Lee, and Yin are all in their 30s, and are expected to help attract the youth vote through policy and promotion.

Ma will be counting on the trio during his campaign, and his campaign team will be pushing full steam ahead.
