Kuomintang Taoyuan mayor candidate Zhang Shanzheng attended the Taozhuzhumiao nuclear energy referendum campaign. He proposed three major reasons: environmental protection, public health and industrial development, and called on the public to vote in support of the Kuomintang's proposal to abolish the non-nuclear homeland.

The nine-in-one general election is approaching, and it is reported that the Kuomintang has canceled the 10,000-person rally event scheduled for November 8 in the North-North Base. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan responded to this when attending the event in the afternoon, saying that he respects the arrangements of the Party Central Committee.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's camp called for a second debate, but Chiang Wanan's campaign director-general Luo Zhi said he was trying to make a comeback in the second debate. Wu Siyao from the Shen camp counterattacked, saying that Chiang Wanan's debate frequently read and read drafts, turning it into a "reading conference", and stressed that he looked forward to more opportunities for municipal exchanges.

Ten media outlets across television, print and online issued a joint statement. In view of the limited time for the first Taipei mayoral election debate, they once again invited Jiang Wanan, Shen Boyang and other campaign camps to attend the second debate, and proposed four major principles: protecting the right to know, equality and objectivity, rational policy exchange, and openness and inclusiveness.

The televised debate on the Taipei mayoral election was held today. Jiang Wanan questioned Shen Boyang's professional arrogance and failure to listen to the voices of the victims' families. Shen Boyang responded with a wry smile that he had served in the Crime Victims Protection Association, and criticized him for being smeared by his opponents.

The Kuomintang held a referendum campaign on "AI is calling, nuclear energy is the only way to have electricity" at the Hsinchu County Stadium today. Taozhuzhumiao leaders Zhang Shanzheng, Yang Wenke, Gao Hongan, Zhong Dongjin and others attended the event. Party Chairman Cheng Li-wen said in her speech that both Huang Jen-Hsun and Musk emphasized that the development of AI requires sufficient energy, and Taiwan’s national guardian mountain also needs to stabilize nuclear power, and called on the people to vote in a referendum at the end of the year to restart nuclear power.
