Ma Ying-jiu was born in Hong Kong in 1950 . The son of a KMT soldier, he became in 1990 the Vice-Chairperson of the Mainland Affairs Council. In 1995, he was appointed Minister of Justice. In 1997, Ma, citing disillusion with politics, left the cabinet to resume his teaching career as law professor but in December 1998, as the KMT candidate for mayor of Taipei, he won with 51 percent of the votes compared to 46 percent for the Democratic Progressive Party's candidate, incumbent Mayor Chen Shui-bian, now the President. In July 2001, the Harvard-educated Mayor was the top vote-getter in elections to the Nationalist Party's (KMT) Central Committee, highlighting his potential to emerge as the future leader of the party and the possible KMT candidate at the next presidential election.

According to wikipedia: 

Ma Ying-Jeou (traditional Chinese: ???; simplified Chinese: ???; Hanyu Pinyin: M? Y?ngji?; Tongyong Pinyin: Ma Yingjiou; Wade-Giles: Ma Ying-chiu) (born July 13, 1950 in Hong Kong) is a politician in the Republic of China (Taiwan), a former Justice Minister, former Mayor of Taipei, and former Chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) from 2005 to 2007.

Ma was elected Mayor of Taipei in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. He was elected Chairman of the Kuomintang by party members on July 16, 2005. He announced his resignation on February 13, 2007 after being indicted by the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office on charges of misuse of Mayoral funds during his tenure as the mayor of Taipei - he was found not-guilty in the first and second trials, but the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. Ma subsequently announced his candidacy for the Presidency in the ROC presidential election of 2008.[1]. On May 2, 2007, Ma was officially named the KMT's nominee for the 2008 Presidential Election.
