The election for the mayor of Tongxiao Town in Miaoli County was originally regarded as a "quiet war on the Western Front." The current mayor Zhang Kexin was originally optimistic about his re-election situation. However, the election was hit by a shock bomb. Former mayor and director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Miaoli County Government Wu Hengzhao dropped a shock bomb today (16th), announcing that he had resigned from the county mayor Zhong Dongjin on the 9th and decided to return to his hometown to participate in the next election of Tongxiao mayor, which stirred up waves in the local political arena.
When interviewed, Wu Hengzhao admitted frankly that "this is a very difficult battle." He emphasized that he was willing to take the responsibility for "the future of Tongxiao people." Wu Hengzhao had served as the town representative, two-term mayor, and county councilor in the past. He had complete qualifications and was very familiar with the local area. He said that although the current county magistrate Zhong Dongjin had vigorously assisted the development of Tongxiao, such as organizing the Tongxiao Sand Sculpture Festival, he felt that the town administration was "not active enough", so he came up with the idea of running for election.
"When it's time to go to the battlefield, go!" Wu Hengzhao emphasized that he had not planned to run for the election long ago. He announced his candidacy for mayor mainly because of his recent deep understanding. He will use his rich experience and experience in the county government to strive for the approval of the villagers. He has always been non-party and will strive for the approval of people from all factions and townspeople. Wu Hengzhao also said that this is a critical moment for Miaoli County and Tongxiao Town. If a good county mayor and a good town mayor can be elected, Tongxiao's prospects are promising.
There had been rumors in the local area that Wu Hengzhao would resign as director and return to his hometown to run for election. After his announcement today, the originally peaceful mayoral election of Tongxiao Town officially went into shock.
