Chiayi Mayor Huang Minhui attended the temple entrance speech tonight to assist in the election of Zhang Qikai.
Zhang Qikai, the Chiayi mayoral candidate of the Blue and White People's Party, held his first "Temple Lecture" at Shuide Temple in Chiayi City at 7:30 tonight. Ji Linlian, vice chairman of the Kuomintang and Chairman of the Huang Fuxing Committee, appointed Zhang Qikai as the honorary chairman of the Huang Guojia and Huang Guoyi Committees. Together with Chiayi Mayor Huang Minhui, KMT Chiayi City and Chiayi County Party Committee Chairman Cai Mingming and others, they shouted "Zhang Qikai freezes garlic", showing the momentum of Blue and White unity.
When Cai Mingming attended the inauguration meeting of Zhang Qikai's campaign headquarters on September 28, he fell off the stage due to lack of physical strength. Tonight, he made his first appearance at the election support event after the injury. Chiayi City Council Kuomintang League Secretary Zhang Xiuhua and council members Fu Dawei, Chen Jiaping, and Huang Siting stood on the platform to cheer Cai Mingming on, shouting "President, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Qikai then presented flowers to Cai Mingming to express his gratitude.
The main theme of the lecture at the entrance of the temple today was "Blue and White Unity, Gu Chiayi". Chairman of the Cultural Communication Committee of the Kuomintang Chen Yixin, Huang Minhui, Ji Linlian, Zhang Xiuhua, Kuomintang legislator Lin Qianqi, former legislator Wu Yusheng and others took turns to assist in the lecture.
Huang Minhui said that the Chiayi Taiwan Railway-High Speed Rail external track system has been delayed for 21 years, which is longer than Wang Baochuan's 18 years of hard work in Hanyao. She thanked Zhang Qikai for helping Jiayi City fight for it from the central government. Chiayi is the only country in the country that does not have an external railway track built by the central government to connect the urban area. Tomorrow afternoon, she will go to the Executive Yuan to meet with Executive President Zhuo Rongtai and other officials to strive for the central government to implement the Chiayi Taiwan Railway-High Speed Rail external track system.
Huang Minhui emphasized that Blue and White cooperate and unite. Zhang Qikai is the mayoral candidate selected after the primary election. She only supports Zhang Qikai, calling on the villagers to let the mayors, councilors, and district chiefs nominated by Blue and White "home runs."
Ji Lin even praised Tsai Ming-ming as the number one party chairman in the country. He persisted despite being injured this time and was a hero among heroes. He recommended Zhang Qikai, who has worked step by step from the primary election to the present and has never attacked or said anything negative about anyone. He is still the "son-in-law of a military community." His father-in-law, Lieutenant General Hu Fuqiu, once served as a military commander in Chiayi. Zhang Qikai's ability and character are recognized, and he is the best candidate to continue Huang Minhui's administration.
