Chen Jianxian, former chairman of the Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters and deputy county magistrate of Hsinchu County, attended the establishment of the local joint campaign headquarters and publicly supported Qiu Chenyuan, the People's Party candidate for Zhubei mayor. The Hsinchu County Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang issued a statement today (7th) in response. The Kuomintang and the People's Democratic Party The parties have similar ideas. Mutual communication and mutual support between the two parties are normal and understandable political interactions. "Blue and White are brothers, not enemies." Blue and White cooperation is the general direction of the 2026 local elections and should not be confused with violations of party discipline.

The Hsinchu County Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang pointed out that blue and white cooperation is the key to uniting forces and jointly facing the DPP, and it is happy to see political parties with similar ideals supporting each other. This is fundamentally different from the disciplinary behavior of party members who publicly support DPP candidates and harm their party's nominated comrades. The County Party Headquarters emphasized that the party’s position on discipline has always been consistent, and that all matters involving disciplinary violations will be reviewed in accordance with the rules. Matters will never be based on personal considerations, and double standards will not be tolerated. However, the normal cooperation between Blue and White should not be misinterpreted.

At the same time, the county party headquarters also particularly recognized Chen Jianxian for his long-term work at the grassroots level, his emphasis on affection and righteousness, and his great contributions to the construction and party management of Hsinchu County. The county party headquarters believes that former Chairman Chen is well aware of political morality and discipline and will never betray his comrades.

The county party headquarters reiterated that the Kuomintang values ​​friendship more than loyalty, and unity must be based on principles and discipline. "Blue and White can cooperate, but comrades must unite; unite all forces that can be united externally, and adhere to uncompromising principles internally." The KMT's determination to strictly enforce party discipline will never waver, and it will never confuse normal Blue-White cooperation with disciplinary-violating electoral support. Facing the election battle, the Kuomintang will continue to gather forces with similar ideas, adhere to the party's beliefs, maintain organizational discipline, face the DPP with united determination, and work together to win the election.
