KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen led party cadres to Nantou County to hold a regular meeting in action today (23rd) afternoon. In her speech, Zheng Liwen heavily criticized the DPP government for using judicial tools to suppress the Kuomintang, and called on the entire party to unite to push for votes. The Kuomintang must not only win the local elections at the end of the year, but also win the 2028 presidential election. Only when the central and local governments govern simultaneously can all construction projects be completed.

Taking the case of the Changhua County Speaker’s detention as an example, Zheng Laiwen criticized the ruling party for using judicial means to harass and suppress the Kuomintang and undermine the neutrality of the public service system as the election was approaching. The greater the external pressure, the more the party must hold on. The entire party and supporters should firmly stand up to urge votes to ensure a comprehensive victory in the end-of-year election. In addition, to win the 2028 presidential election and delist the DPP, only local and central governments can govern simultaneously to avoid abuse of power and fragmentation of resources.

Zheng Liwen also highly affirmed the political achievements of Nantou County Magistrate Xu Shuhua, praising the county government and the Kuomintang team for demonstrating high-quality services and governance performance, and letting their political achievements speak for themselves. Although the current election situation in Nantou is relatively stable, she reminded that there are only about two months left before the November 28 vote. The entire party must not relax and sprint with all its strength to achieve the home run goal of the "13+1" township mayor and county magistrate elections in Nantou County.

Zheng Liwen also personally presented campaign ribbons and flags to Xu Shuhua and the 13 township mayor candidates nominated by the Kuomintang, demonstrating the determination of the entire party to win the election.

Zheng Liwen wore campaign ribbons for Nantou County Magistrate Xu Shuhua and the 13 candidates for township mayor who were seeking re-election.
