Huang Guochang said that in the face of the 2026 nine-in-one election, the nationwide sweeps specially set out from Zhubei to call on supporters across Taiwan and friends who care about the third force to stand up bravely and fully support Qiu Chenyuan. He called on voters to pool their votes and send outstanding parliamentary candidates from each constituency to parliament to speak for the people and deepen the roots of the third force. At the same time, he welcomed people along the way to greet the motorcade enthusiastically.
Ko Wenzhe pointed out that Zhubei is the place with the highest support for the People’s Party in Taiwan, and the Party Central Committee very responsibly launched Qiu Chenyuan’s candidacy for mayor of Zhubei. Ke humorously quoted Qiu Chenyuan's classic saying, "If you don't have a foothold, you can only rely on your two feet; if you don't have financial resources, you can only rely on physical strength." He encouraged all candidates to do their best in the last two weeks, hold every hand sincerely, and communicate face-to-face with the public.
Ko Wenzhe emphasized that "All politics is local". If the People's Party wants to successfully transform from an online party to a party rooted in local areas, it must take full root in the 2026 election campaign.
Qiu Chenyuan said that the team will hold every hand tightly and actively visit the grassroots with the most humble attitude and the most serious mood. As long as you continue your accumulated efforts steadily, you will eventually win. Qiu also shouted to all Taiwan grassroots and supporters: "The unremitting spirit of the Taiwan People's Party is the spirit of Taiwan! We hope that politics will be implemented in the people's lives every day, and the Taiwan People's Party deserves a happy victory!" The campaign team implores Zhubei villagers to firmly support Qiu Chenyuan on November 28th, and work together to create a happy Zhubei.
