Why It Matters

Due to the overlapping votes of Blue and White city councilors, the grassroots believe that Blue and White cooperation is only possible at the county and mayor level, and there is no Blue and White cooperation at the county and city council level. Therefore, whether the Kuomintang county mayor candidate is a candidate for the Kuomintang city councilor candidate has often become a focus of controversy.

Last night, People's Party Taichung City Councilor Jiang Heshu posted on Facebook that Jiang Qichen's staff said that only Secretary General Zhou Yuxiu, legislators, party convenor Chen Qinglong, and city councilor Jiang Heshu of the People's Party could attend. Others None of the five city council candidates were eligible. When the news came out, Jiang Qichen’s staff urgently clarified early this morning, emphasizing that the internal communication message was not complete enough and that it was a technical issue with the process arrangement. Jiang Qichen welcomed the participation of the People’s Party. After explanation, the People’s Party Taiwan Squadron will attend today.

Due to the overlapping votes of Blue and White city councilors, Blue and White are defined by the grassroots as only county and city councilors, and there are no Blue and White partners for county and city councilors. Therefore, whether the Kuomintang candidate for county mayor is the candidate of the Kuomintang for city councilor is often in a dilemma.

Jiang Qichen's presidential election was established today, but last night People's Party Central City Councilor Jiang Heshu posted on Facebook that the six People's Party Central City Council candidates were originally supposed to attend with Secretary-General Zhou Yuxiu and People's Party legislators, but Jiang Qichen's staff said that only Zhou Yuxiu, party legislators and Jiang Heshu himself could attend, so the People's Party decided not to attend.

In this regard, Jiang Qichen's team hurriedly clarified this morning, saying that Zhou Yuxiu was originally going to attend, but could not make it due to other schedules. As for only current legislators and current city councilors, the internal information was incomplete.

Jiang Qichen's team also welcomed the People's Party team to participate in the establishment of the General Assembly.
