People's Party candidate for Taichung City Councilor Lian Xiaohua held an inauguration meeting at the campaign headquarters today. The venue was packed with people. Many local mayors and stake holders from the blue camp were present. Former legislator Lin Fengxi, who was expelled from the Democratic Progressive Party, was also present. Since Lian Xiaohua's husband, Chen Qinglong, was a former Taichung City Councilor without party membership and is currently a non-district legislator of the People's Party, today's venue also seemed to demonstrate his grassroots strength of "blue and green take all".
Lin Fengxi came to the scene today. When he saw Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan, he came up to shake hands and take a group photo. He said that it was the first time he met Lu Xiuyan after serving as a municipal consultant for so long. Many Fengyuan District chiefs and former Shengang Township Mayor Wang Kuntang of Lanying were also present.
In addition to party officials from the People’s Party, Kuomintang Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yan, Vice Mayor Zheng Zhaoxin, Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen, Legislative Yuan Vice-President, and legislator Yang Qiongying also attended the scene to support the "Blue and White" and presented lemons to symbolize the "opposition alliance." Lu Xiuyan said that Chen Qinglong and Lian Xiaohua provide one-stop service for the central and local governments; Jiang Qichen also shouted "Jiang Qichen's vote, Lian Xiaohua's vote."
There are 5 seats in Taichung City Councilor District 4 (Fengyuan, Houli). There are 9 people running this time. It is generally believed that the current Democratic Progressive Party Hsieh Zhizhong, KMT Qiu Aishan, Chen Bentian, and DPP newcomer Cai Yixuan will have a relatively stable election. The last seat should be won by the KMT Lian Jiazhen, the People's Party Lian Xiaohua, the People's People's Party Huang Chaoyuan, and the non-party member Wang Chaokun.
