The KMT is a Chinese political party now based in taiwan. Founded in 1912 it came to power in 1927, and governed most of China until it was overthrown by the Communists in 1949. It fled to Taiwan, and continued to operate there as the "Republic of China." It lost power in the 2000 elections, but is currently well ahead in polls for the 2008 elections.
