The Kuomintang League of the Legislative Yuan held a press conference today (11th) to question the sentencing of Hsieh Jun-hsiung, the husband of DPP Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun, for bribery related to the design and supervision of the Nagu Hall in Shengang Township, Changhua County. At the same time, He Xinchun went to the Garden City Market on Uriming Road in the morning to pray for votes and called his opponent, KMT Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen, "Let's have a gentleman's debate (debate)."

He Xinchun was busy early this morning, and was not affected by Lan Ying's accusation against her husband. Accompanied by DPP Taichung City Councilors Zeng Wei and Zhang Jia'un, they rushed to the Wuri District market to vote. Along the way, they had "endless breakfast." Supporters brought out meat buns, fried buns and soy milk. He Xinchun also enthusiastically hugged the baby girl. On the side, "Our mayor, He Xinchun" and "He Xinchun, frozen garlic (elected)" kept shouting.

Lan Ying made a big move in the Legislative Yuan, accusing Xie Junxiong of bribery in the design and supervision project of Nagutang in Shengang Township, Changhua County, and the sentence was confirmed. He asked for a response to the statement that "the other party asked for a bribe, so he paid a bribe." He Xinchun was interviewed before sweeping the streets, focusing on the public TV political debate on the Taichung mayoral election on November 17.

He Xinchun said that it was a pity that her opponent, KMT candidate Jiang Qichen, continued to avoid invitations to TV debates hosted by third-party media. She first checked the "debate" option when registering and looked forward to having rational discussions with her opponents Jiang Qichen and Hong Lihua on political opinions such as how to solve voters' municipal issues and the vision of citizens' lives.

Luo Dayou stirs up provincial sentiments Scholar Du Shengcong: Ethnic cards cannot be calculated in mathematics

Du Shengcong, a communication scholar at Ming Chuan University, analyzed that there are about 360,000 to 440,000 voters from other provinces in Taipei City, but only 150,000 to 180,000 people who identify themselves as from other provinces. He calculated that the positive and negative forces of ethnic mobilization offset each other, and the net benefit was close to zero. The ethnic card was almost uneconomical for the Taipei mayoral election.

Xie Guoliang used "forged documents" to consume his opponents! Zhang Zhihao, a party involved in the recall case, choked back: Is this called love?

Keelung City Councilor Zhang Zhihao of the Democratic Progressive Party criticized Mayor Xie Guoliang for mocking independent candidate Wei Zaowen in a TV debate with a homophone as a "forgery document" and should publicly apologize. He also pointed out that the Civil Affairs Department Director of Xie City Government and the Chairman of the Kuomintang Municipal Party Committee were sentenced for embezzling personal information and forging 683 recall proposals. In addition, the Keelung MRT Phase 2 Plan was sent to the Ministry of Transportation but was not sent to the Council for review. The city councilor only received a "Happy Picture with Ghost Paintings" without details and location numbers.

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 Zhudong and Wufeng constituencies in Hsinchu County, has 43 years of experience in the Kuomintang. She recently appeared in the election campaign of DPP county magistrate candidate Zheng Chaofang. On the 8th, she publicly shouted "support Zheng Chaofang" at the Zhudong market. On the 9th, she announced that she would voluntarily give up her party membership. She also blasted KMT candidate Xu Xinying as a "chameleon", questioned her political stance, and declared that Zhudong's interests would be given priority. This move may shake the defense line of the Lanying Iron Ticket District and become a key focus of observation in the Hsinchu County Mayor election.
