The Chiayi County Magistrate election is getting more and more heated. DPP Chiayi County Magistrate candidate Cai Yiyu and Minxiong Township Mayor candidate Chen Congyi ride on YouBike to send "fly swatter" campaign souvenirs along the way to pray for the votes of the folks; Kuomintang Nantou County Magistrate Xu Shuhua Went to Chiayi today for the auxiliary election. Together with Wu Pinrui, the non-party candidate for Chiayi County Mayor of the "Opposition Alliance", and Lin Yuling, the mayor of Minxiong Township who is running for re-election, they used a motorcade to sweep the streets to appeal to the villagers. The two camps were on the streets to boost their popularity and show signs of each other.

This afternoon, Cai Yiyu's motorcade was led by campaign chariots. Together with Democratic Progressive Party legislators Chen Guanting and Chen Congyi, as well as re-election congressman Lin Shuwan, village representative candidates Cai Rongjin, Zhang Jinghao, Huang Guoya, Lin Yiling and others, they rode YouBikes through the streets and alleys of Minxiong to vote with villagers. The motorcade also "passed by" the joint campaign headquarters of Wu Pinrui and Lin Yuling, sending campaign souvenirs to win public support.

Nantou County Mayor Xu Shuhua of the Kuomintang took a chariot with Wu Pinrui, Lin Yuling, county councilor Jian Jiayi, Minxiong Township People's Representative Association Chairman Tu Wensheng and others, and went deep into the streets, markets and local settlements of Minxiong with the theme of "County and township chiefs +1 together" to wave to the villagers and ask for support.

Xu Shuhua said that Wu Pinrui is a very outstanding woman she has seen. She has performed very well as the mayor of Puzi. She is recognized by the villagers for her governance, especially as the administrative chief. She is familiar with the details of administrative work. She also hopes that Chiayi County resources can be evenly distributed to various towns and cities to promote the overall development of Chiayi County. It is not easy for women to enter politics. Pinrui is petite, but has the strongest perseverance and willpower. She calls on all villagers to support her in being elected as Chiayi County Mayor.

Wu Pinrui said that she would like to thank "Wonder Woman" Xu Shuhua for coming to Minxiong today to cheer for her and Lin Yuling, so that they are full of fighting power. She will learn the spirit of Wonder Woman and continue to win the support of the villagers step by step and persist until the last moment.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs warned that this move will affect more than 9.72 million kilowatts of power generation capacity. If all medium-fire coal-fired units are shut down next year, the reserve capacity may turn negative from 2028 to 2029, facing the risk of power shortages and power rationing.
