The KMT's Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen's first pre-election campaign was held at the Shalu Baseball and Softball Stadium. Legislative President Han Guoyu and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan were present to support the campaign. Members of the Blue Camp and candidates for mayor gathered together.

The countdown to the nine-in-one general election, KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen's first pre-election campaign was held at the Shalu Baseball and Softball Field today (6th) evening. Legislative President Han Guo-yu and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiu-yan attended the scene to support. Councilors from the blue camp and mayor candidates gathered. Chiang Chi-chen's team built a blue line MRT carriage and drove into the venue. The first appearance became the focus. Chiang Chi-chen said that if he is elected mayor, he will speed up the completion of the Blue Line and extend the Orange Line to Qingshui.

As soon as Jiang Qichen came on stage, he said that he would seek to have the Legislative Yuan pass the opposition party's draft amendment to the "Interim Regulations on Welfare Subsidy for Elderly Farmers" on the third reading today (6th), which would increase the monthly subsidy for elderly farmers to 15,000 yuan. However, Executive President Zhuo Rongtai did not countersign and called on everyone to express their position with their votes.

Jiang Qichen said that the sea line has an airport and a seaport, and will promote the construction of dual ports, strictly supervise the central fire, and provide clean air to the people of Taichung City. In addition, it will also plan to use the Da'an Port Mazu Park to drive the tourism development of the Jia'anpu area.

Jiang Qichen pointed out that Taichung must transform into an international, smart, and sustainable city in the future, use AI to improve traffic management, and improve maternity, childcare, and vaccine subsidies with the family as the core. In terms of transportation, while promoting the construction of MRT, we will reorganize the bus network to implement "short-distance denseness, long-distance fastness, and convenient transfers" to create a 20-minute living circle. We call on everyone to unite and work together to win this election.

Open Questions

  • What is the specific completion time of the MRT Blue Line?
  • The Executive Yuan’s follow-up response to the amendment to the law on subsidies for elderly farmers.
