Quick Comment》Hsinchu County Councilor Shangguan Qiuyan of the Blue Camp quits the party and supports Zheng Chaofang of the Green Camp. Xu Xinying’s election situation adds variables

Shangguan Qiuyan, a senior county councilor in the Zhudong and Wufeng constituencies of Hsinchu County who has been a member of the Kuomintang for 43 years. She has served as a township representative to three county councilors. She has solid local grassroots strength. She recently appeared at the DPP's candidate for Hsinchu County magistrate Zheng Chaofang. Facing party disciplinary action, she made public at the Zhudong market on the 8th They shouted "Support Zheng Chaofang" and announced on the 9th that they would voluntarily renounce their KMT membership. Yesterday, they even threw out the slogan "People from Zhudong support people from Zhudong" and attacked the KMT's Hsinchu County Magistrate candidate Xu Xinying. This move not only shook the defense line of the Lanying iron ticket area, but also may have a domino effect affecting the election in the Zhudong and Wufeng areas.

The mayor of Zhudong Town has long been a vote bank of the Kuomintang. Shangguan Qiuyan has strong grassroots strength. She has emerged in local politics since she was elected as Zhudong Town Representative at the age of 25. She has been elected as a county councilor for three terms. She is seeking re-election at the end of this year. She is known for her enthusiasm for service, outspokenness, and deep understanding of local people. Sophisticated, the grassroots in the Zhudong and Wufeng areas are rich in strength. This cross-party alliance extending from the Deep Blue Iron ticket area also connects local communities, clans and non-party forces. It is expected to give a boost to the election of Zheng Chaofang, a descendant of Zhudong, and may also have an impact on the Hsinchu County Chief Election Bureau.

Shangguan Qiuyan has also been involved in various organizations such as the local Xiang Gong Research Society and women leaders for a long time. She currently serves as the executive supervisor of the World Hakka Association and the chairman of the Hsinchu County Baseball Committee. She has established a deep mass foundation in Hakka villages, schools and sports clubs. In addition, she has cross-party connections with local clansmen and women's networks, giving her the strength not to be restricted by political party frameworks.

The storm of quitting the party stemmed from the Kuomintang's Hsinchu County Party Headquarters' disciplinary meeting on the 4th, which accused Shangguan Qiuyan of attending the election campaign of Green Camp Zheng Chaofang and inviting Zhudong Mayor Guo Yuanzhang, who has no party membership, to stand on the platform when her own campaign was established, and recommended that her party membership be revoked. ; In this regard, Shangguan Qiuyan emphasized that she had a clear conscience based on the humane principles of helping her family. Instead, she questioned Xu Xinying's political stance of changing parties many times, stating that she could not agree with it, and declared that after quitting the party, she would give priority to Zhudong's interests and would no longer be kidnapped by the political party.

Shangguan Qiuyan bluntly stated in an interview that as a loyal member of the Kuomintang for 43 years, she would rather give up her party membership than support Xu Xinying. She criticized Xu Xinying as a "chameleon running around" in the political arena and Xu Xinying vying for the county magistrate's position. At that time, Xu Cai was able to return to the Kuomintang despite the recommendation of Chen Jianxian, the former chairman of the county party committee. Because of Chen Jianxian's support, Xu Cai was able to serve as a legislator. Later, he killed Chen Jianxian with a knife to the bone.

Will Shangguan Qiuyan's determined remarks create a domino effect and gradually disintegrate the iron ticket network of traditional organizations that Xu Xinying relies on? It will become a focus that cannot be ignored in the Hsinchu County Mayor election 16 days before the election.
