Why It Matters

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang completed the registration to run for election. The Kuomintang and the People's Party promoted the blue-white cooperation model in Keelung and nominated four candidates, including the former mayor's staff and the Kuomintang legislative assistant. However, there are concerns within the party that the effects of the blue-white disagreement may spill over.

A few days ago, Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang (middle), accompanied by Lin Peixiang (left), chairman of the Keelung City Party Department of the Kuomintang, and Qiu Peilin (right), chairman of the Keelung City Party Committee of the People's Party, completed the registration for the election. (File photo)

After the blue-white cooperation between the mayor of Zhubei broke down, although the KMT chairman Zheng Liwen said that he would use the utmost patience to solve the problem, the party was still worried that the effects of the blue-white disagreement would continue to spill over to counties and cities. Tomorrow, Zheng Liwen will go to Xinyi District, Shenlan District, Keelung City for the first time to accompany Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to sweep the streets. The auxiliary election schedule has finally entered the "North-North Keitao"; Keelung is one of the Blue and White Cooperation Demonstration Zones. Whether Qiu Peilin, the deputy mayor of Keelung City, a member of the People's Party, will join Zheng Liwen with the People's Party chicks.

The People's Party nominated a total of four people this time: Lu Chengyou from Zhongshan District of Keelung City, Li Wenyao from Anle District, Lin Tinghan from Zhongzheng District, and Huang Shendong from Xinyi District. Among them, Lin Tinghan used to be Xie Guoliang's staff, and Huang Shendong was the assistant to KMT legislator Lin Peixiang. They are the new blue-white cooperation model nominated by Keelung to "turn from blue to white".

Please read on...

Qiu Peilin recently left a message on the Kuomintang Hsinchu County Mayor Xu Xinying's social group, saying "treat white as a fool." However, as Keelung is a demonstration area of blue-white municipal and electoral cooperation, this move has further intensified the division between blue and white. Although Huang Shendong, who has a blue camp staff background, put on the white camp jersey to run this time, He Shuping, a senior Kuomintang councilor from Xinyi District, competed with Lin Peixiang in the legislative primary election in the past and lost. When Lin sent an assistant to run, there was a lot of old and new hatred. This put a lot of pressure on Xie Guoliang, making it more difficult to "fit" the blue and white parliamentary candidates.
