Zhang Shanzheng will take leave tomorrow to fight for re-election! Leading the team to vote at intersections in the early morning, Yunjia South auxiliary election trip will start later

The 2026 nine-in-one election has entered the final sprint. Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng of the Kuomintang, who is seeking re-election, will formally take leave from tomorrow (12th) in accordance with regulations and devote himself to the election campaign. Zhang Shanzheng will lead a number of party parliamentary candidates at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning at the intersection of Zhuangjing Road and Jingguo Road in Taoyuan District to say good morning to the citizens to vote, symbolizing the start of the countdown to the election.

Zhuang Kaiyu, spokesman for Zhang Shanzheng's campaign office, said that after finishing the early morning polls at intersections, Zhang Shanzheng immediately started an intensive "ironman trip" and will go south to Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan to conduct cross-county and city auxiliary elections. Choosing to leave Taoyuan at the last moment of the election campaign is not only to show the unity of the blue camp in the "group battle", but also because Taoyuan is a diverse city that brings together folks from central and southern China. We hope to combine with candidates from other counties and cities to arouse the cohesion of hometown associations from all over the country, and strongly appeal to Taoyuan folks who work and study outside to "must go home and vote" because "every vote is important, and Taoyuan must have you for continued good governance!"

Zhuang Kaiyu said that as the first stop for the auxiliary election in the south, Zhang Shanzheng will go to Yunlin and join forces with Yunlin County Magistrate candidate Zhang Jiajun to sweep the streets in a convoy. Taoyuan and Yunlin interact closely. Zhang Jiajun’s vision of combining the semiconductor and drone industries perfectly complements Taoyuan’s complete electronic manufacturing supply chain to form “Taoyuan Manufacturing, Yunlin Testing” to jointly build an agricultural, industrial, commercial and technology city.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shanzheng will go to Chiayi City to join Chiayi mayoral candidate Zhang Qikai and current mayor Huang Minhui to conduct policy exchanges on youth housing justice. Zhang Shanzheng mentioned that it is not easy for young people to start a family. He actively promoted social housing and Taiwan's first "affordable housing" in Taoyuan in order to reduce the burden on young people. The "Chiayi Good Homes" policy proposed by Zhang Qikai is highly consistent with Taoyuan's experience. Through this two-city dialogue, Taoyuan's successful housing policy experience will be shared with Chiayi, so that the young generation can start a family with peace of mind in any city.

On the last leg of the trip, Zhang Shanzheng will go to Tainan to attend a political briefing with Tainan mayor candidate Xie Longjie. As a "half-Tainanese", Zhang Shanzheng has deep feelings for Tainan. He emphasized that the "marriage and childcare home" policy proposed by Xie Longjie and Taoyuan's "affordable housing" concept "have the same vision." Both parties insist on preventing speculation in the housing market and are committed to leaving resources to young families who really need it.

Zhuang Kaiyu said that from greetings at the intersection in the early morning to policy exchanges across three counties and cities, Zhang Shanzheng's abundant physical strength and determination to win the election were demonstrated. The bid calls on all Taoyuan citizens to unite with foreigners, turn their support into practical actions, return home to vote enthusiastically, and jointly support "good governance" for re-election.
