The registration for the nine-in-one election has ended. A total of three people have completed registration for the Taichung mayoral election, including candidate He Xinchun from the Democratic Progressive Party, candidate Jiang Qichen from the Chinese Kuomintang, and candidate Hong Lihua from the Judiciary and Justice Party. They will compete for the next mayor of Taichung. Among them, Hong Lihua, the former head of Luliao District, Shalu District, is challenging for the mayor’s seat following the election of councilors and legislators. She is expected to hold the founding meeting of the headquarters in Shalu on the 11th.

The 65-year-old Hong Lihua was born in Qingshui Gaomei and started her business by opening a clothing store in the Luliao garment business district. In 2014, she was elected as the mayor of Luliao as an independent. In 2018, she ran for city councilor as an independent. In 2024, she was recommended by the Justice Party to run for the Legislature. She competed against Yan Kuanheng and Lin Jingyi. Although Hong Lihua did not win, she still received 6,331 votes.

Hong Lihua pointed out in her candidacy for mayor that she visited 5,000 households as the mayor of Luliao and discovered social problems such as declining birthrate, social economy, and youth employment rate. Her candidacy pointed out that Taiwan is affected by the declining birth rate, population imbalance, and productivity, which affects national security. Japan has examples. Many 85-year-olds are still working and serving dishes in taxi restaurants. In the United States, there are too many purse snatching cases that the police ignore. Taiwan can prevent these. Let everyone work together to change the status quo and let Hong Lihua be elected as mayor to improve the economy.

Hong Lihua pointed out that strengthening international economic cooperation will increase the economy by 30%. Improve people's living standards by 30%. Reward investment to increase the economy, create jobs, and strengthen the conservation and development of water resources. Increase the welfare of the elderly and the employment rate of youth. Promote and assist the increase of agricultural and fishery production capacity.
