Taipei’s (Taiwan’s capital) newly elected mayor, Ko Wen-Je, used gitbook to
successfuly publish his campain’s official “whitebook”.


Doctor Ko Wen-Je and his team won the elections this Saturday (see more on
the New York Times).

Earlier this week, around wednesday, they decided to publish and share their
official political agenda (“whitebook”) as a GitBook, as an act of
transparency and openness.


Their “whitebook” was widely successful, being read by nearly 250,000
unique readers, in less than 5 days, gathering more than 36,000 likes on
Facebook and millions of page views from Taipei’s citizens, just days before
the elections.


It’s interesting to see a politician take this path, embracing the digital
era and using e-books to openly share his plan and thoughts with the
citizens, this transparency enables debates and ultimately allows citizens to
give their thoughts and feedback on a politician’s campaign.


We see GitBook as a platform, that empowers everyone regardless of their
social status, age or experience, to openly write and share their ideas. We
hope that Dr Ko’s example will inspire many to follow in his steps.


Finally I would to congratulate Dr Ko and his team for their election and I
wish them the best of luck for the coming years, hopefully they will help
Taipei grow and propser as an international city.
