Feng Chih-yi (方智怡), an overseas delegate, had earlier vowed to call for Lee's expulsion during the congress but later said she would leave the matter to the discretion of the Central Standing Committee.
Apparently to appease the pro-Lee faction, the party has said it will continue with the "Taiwan first" policy introduced by the former KMT leader.
"Without abandoning the `Taiwan first' policy, the party will make saving the economy and promoting ethnic harmony its main appeals in the run-up to the December polls," Lin said.
Analysts said the KMT, if able to avert fratricidal infighting, would remain a key player in politics.
