AI-generated summary
The end-of-year election campaign has entered the countdown stage, and candidates are actively holding campaign events to win the support of voters. The urban rezoning project in the Luzhou area is an important issue of concern to local voters.
With 20 days left before the year-end election, Su Qiaohui, New Taipei mayor candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, held a campaign party in Luzhou today (8th), with nearly 10,000 people attending. Lin Youchang, the former Secretary-General of the Presidential Office who just returned to Taiwan by plane in the early morning, took the stage to deliver a speech, claiming that there was a control group in the election and that Su Qiaohui was better than the KMT candidate. He emphasized that the "Lunan and Lubei" rezoning project must prioritize local interests and prioritize transportation planning, including the Lushe Bridge and the MRT connecting Taipei, and called on supporters to "be wary of danger in times of peace, be cautious of fear, and vote for the future."
Su Qiaohui held the "Hui Gathering Stars Luzhou, Wuguhui Win Momentum Party" in Luzhou today. Vice President Xiao Meiqin and former Presidential Secretary-General Lin Youchang attended the joint stage. There was a long queue of people before the event started. When the event started at 7pm in the evening, the seats in the infield were already full. Nearly ten thousand people came to the event. It can be seen that many people came to support the event with streamers and flags such as Yangliu Huiju and Yangliu. The atmosphere was warm.
Lin Youchang pointed out in his speech that he took a flight back to Taiwan at 5:40 this morning. At 10:30 a.m., he went to Keelung to discuss culture and urban governance with Vice President Zheng Lijun and Tong Zixian and support the election. In the afternoon, he went to Xinzhuang and stood on the roadside to greet the future Mayor Su Qiaohui, so his voice was slightly hoarse. He mentioned that after last year’s general recall, everyone felt very unhappy and the momentum was low, and they were even worried that the 2026 election would be very difficult. However, because everyone united to support the DPP government, the Legislative Yuan caucus and the administrative team led by President Zhuo Rongtai gradually stabilized the political situation, allowing support to gradually recover. Coupled with the hard work of the county mayor candidates and the "ocean current" stirred up by Taipei City Shen Boyang, the momentum has gradually picked up.
Lin Youchang pointed out that for more than a year, he had watched Su Qiaohui busy from early morning to evening every day, sharing exchanges with citizens and political opinions in the community, and gaining support step by step. When he returned to Taiwan in July, he gave Su Qiaohui a book on urban governance to share his thoughts. In the afternoon, he saw many non-mobilized people running downstairs to cheer for the team on the roadside in Xinzhuang, which was touching. He also analyzed that the difference between recall and election is that "there is a control group" and believed that the DPP candidates were better and more capable than the candidates nominated by the Kuomintang.
Regarding local development, Lin Youchang emphasized that the Luzhou "Lunan Lubei" rezoning case has a significant impact. When he was the Minister of the Interior, he suggested to Mayor Hou Youyi that the rezoning must consider the local interests of Luzhou and put transportation at the forefront of planning. Otherwise, money will be made by others and the environment may not be improved. In addition, Luzhou construction must be connected with Taipei City, including Lushe Bridge and MRT construction, to avoid a recurrence of the internal traffic dilemma. Finally, he called on the public to "be prepared for danger in times of peace, be cautious of fear, and vote for success" in the final stage, and fully support Su Qiaohui on November 28.
