Taipei Mayor Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party went to Yongchun Market to sweep the streets today (26th), but this time he did not notify supporters in advance on LINE. Shen Boyang said that he hoped that the support would not be too tiring and that it would also allow him to interact more with the vendors. However, many supporters still came to the scene today to chase the "ocean current". Some people said that they were from New Taipei City, and Shen Boyang still signed autographs and took photos. The person also said that he would support Su Qiaohui, the New Taipei City mayor candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. In addition, Shen Boyang said yesterday that the remaining PS console series, PS2, had not been signed, and now people are asking him to sign it.

Shen Boyang arrived at Yongchun Market at 9 a.m. this morning. Although no LINE notification was sent, there were still supporters waiting at the venue in advance. Many of them were familiar faces he had seen in the past. Media Network interviewed Shen Boyang. This was his second visit to the Yongchun market, but he did not send a special notice to his supporters on LINE. What are your considerations? Shen Boyang said that because the Yongchun Market has already been visited once, the team thought that there was no need to send a special notice this time; on the one hand, it would not make the supporters too tired, and on the other hand, they could directly interact with the vendors at the market.

Today, there are still many supporters who come to Shen Boyang specifically to take photos and sign autographs. When people shopping in the market see Shen Boyang, they also excitedly come forward to express their support and ask for photos. Interestingly, Shen Boyang said just last night that many people gave him autographs of Sony's PS series consoles. The only exception was the second-generation PS2, which was not signed in. Today, some people specially brought it to him, and some supporters also sent supplies, e-sports event tickets, battle tops, etc. to cheer up Shen Boyang.

A citizen from New Taipei City saw Shen Boyang very excited and stepped forward to take photos and sign autographs. However, he immediately said, "I support you very much, but I can't vote for you." He then added, "I will vote for Su Qiaohui," making Shen Boyang burst into laughter.

People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang flashed past Blue Camp You Shuzhen in Hualien's auxiliary election, raising questions about the sincerity of Blue and White in Hualien

People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang went to Hualien's Ji'an Renli Market during the end of the year campaign to assist with the election. This was his second visit to Hualien this week. Although he previously said that the tone of Hualien Blue and White has not changed, today's auxiliary election schedule deliberately avoided the Kuomintang county magistrate candidate You Shuzhen and his vote-seeking team, and there was no direct contact. You Shuzhen entered the venue to interact with Aboriginal voters after Huang Guochang left, and the atmosphere was lively. The outside world has questioned the sincerity of Blue and White, especially since the People's Party has not clearly stated whether it supports Fu Kunyu's team to which You Shuzhen belongs.

Zhu Lilun's Keelung assistant election affirmed Xie Guoliang's policies and emphasized that pragmatism is better than temporary fads

Zhu Lilun, former chairman of the Kuomintang, went to Keelung on the 26th to start the first auxiliary election of this year. He accompanied Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to Qidu Nanxing Market to vote. Zhu Lilun affirmed the achievements of Xie Guoliang's governance, saying that he was visionary, caring and empathetic, and emphasized that the most important thing is to truly do a good job in municipal administration. Temporary winds and temporary fluctuations can only have short-term effects. He said that during the election process, opponents created conflicts, but Xie Guoliang resolved them with tolerance and love, making him the best choice for Keelung citizens. Regarding whether the ocean current in Taipei City will spread to Keelung, Zhu Lilun believes that coined terms are not important, and pragmatic voting is the key. I feel sad that the Hsinchu Blue and White partnership broke up, but I said that Keelung is a model of the Blue and White partnership. Xie Guoliang can resolve the problem by being more tolerant and loving and less conflicting. Xie Guoliang thanked Zhu Lilun for leaving the first auxiliary election to Keelung, calling him an important senior and learning object, and recalled that Zhu Lilun came to Keelung many times to cheer and give encouragement and affirmation during the recall period in 2024.
