As the nine-in-one election draws to a close, the Taoyuan Mayoral Election Poll released by the Trustees Association and polling expert Dai Li'an today shows that the current Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng has 36.9% support, slightly ahead of the DPP Huang Shijie's 32.8%. When asked whether he would go to Taichung and Taoyuan to boost his momentum? Shen Boyang, Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that his current schedule is tight but he will try his best to arrange it, and emphasized that cooperation should not be limited to the electoral level, but "also includes future cooperation between cities," which is more important to citizens.

The latest poll released by the People's Association today for Taoyuan mayor shows that Zhang Shanzheng's support rate is 36.9%, slightly ahead of Huang Shijie's 32.8%; among those who said they will definitely vote, 42.7% will vote for Huang Shijie and 41.4% will vote for Zhang Shanzheng. In addition, regarding whether there should be a rotation of political parties in the Taoyuan mayoral election, 33.8% of those who agree with the Democratic Progressive Party are better than the KMT's 31.0%. Poll analysis pointed out that more than half of the public did not evaluate Huang's appointment as Taoyuan mayor, which may be due to insufficient impression of Huang.

The Legislative Yuan Procedural Committee held the 5th meeting of the 11th 6th session this afternoon (10). DPP legislator and Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted a joint interview with the media after the meeting.

The media asked: The People's Association of Faithful People released a poll this morning. The data showed that Huang Shijie was only behind Zhang Shanzheng by less than a few percentage points. Shen had previously mentioned that he would go to Taichung and Taoyuan to boost his momentum, but the "tight election situation" may cause fine-tuning of the itinerary. I want to ask about the progress of this part of the arrangement?

Shen Boyang responded that he hopes to have the opportunity to talk more about cooperation in Taoyuan and Taichung, but he believes that cooperation should not stop at the electoral level. "The focus also includes future cooperation between cities." He feels obliged to let residents in different cities hear about potential future cooperation opportunities between Taipei City and the city where he is now.
