KMT Tainan mayoral candidate Xie Longjie today accompanied People's Party Taichung City Xitun District Councilor candidate Liu Qinyu to Shuinan Market to vote. Since Liu Qinyu overlaps with the KMT's votes, will Xie Longjie's auxiliary election cause dissatisfaction among the KMT members in the constituency? In this regard, Xie Longjie said, "No, Blue and White will hit a home run."

Xie Longjie also said that there is no problem with Blue and White. To achieve great things, there will be some twists and turns in the process. The clouds will soon clear up. We still need to cooperate and move forward. The focus is to remove the DPP and return to power in 2026 and 2028.

As Liu Qinyu's prospects are bullish, not only the KMT's big figures have repeatedly supported Liu Qinyu, but also the KMT's Xie Longjie has come to assist in the election. However, the KMT city council candidates may not be happy.

Xie Longjie said, no, because Blue and White can hit a home run, why are you so confident? He pointed out that because Jiang Qichen is very strong, Na Lu’s mother is here, and her political performance is very good, so everyone supports Blue and White cooperation. Xie Longjie pointed out that he believes that young people should be allowed to serve in parliament. He personally supports and affirms young people from any party entering politics. Liu Qinyu is a young person, so he should support her even more.

Xie Longjie said that he had made a promise to her. When Mayor Lu came to Tainan to see him, Liu Qinyu also went there. At that time, he promised to come and help her stand up, so he came to help her today.

Liu Qinyu said that everyone is worried about the Zhubei issue, but Blue and White cooperation continues across the country. This afternoon, Xie Long introduced the Tainan City Blue and White Service Center, and Chairman of the People's Party Huang Guochang will also come.

In addition, since today is Liu Qinyu’s birthday, the team prepared birthday peaches and white radish to represent good luck, and supporters also presented small cakes.
