He looked at the KMT legislators present and said that all the KMT legislators are here. Our common goal is to maximize the number of blue and white seats. We also hope to continue to work hard to create the greatest welfare for the city of Taipei and for all citizens.
Jiang Wanan also mentioned that in the past, whether the DPP government launched a general recall or made many people afraid to speak out, this period has entered the election stage, and everyone has felt the social atmosphere. Many supporters have been afraid to speak out and express their positions for some time. But in the past few days, he has seen many good friends who participated in the establishment of his campaign headquarters. He called on everyone not to be afraid and to stand up. Now many Facebook, Crisp and other communities have seen that everyone has the courage to express their opinions and positions. He is very grateful and hopes that everyone will continue to work hard and move forward.
