Wu dismissed a report from the Chinese-language China Times Weekly report that said he would take over as premier and urged local press not to engage in groundless speculation.

Wu denied planning to take over as premier if Ma decided to double as KMT chairman next month. He said he and Ma would remain silent on the issue until the middle of next month.

Wu also recently denied rumors that he would take over as Straits Exchange Foundation chairman.
