Cheng Li-wen and Ko Wen-je Join Ko Hung-an at Registration to Project Blue-White Unity

Hsinchu Mayor Ko Hung-an completed her registration bid for re-election accompanied by the leaders of Taiwan’s two opposition parties, an appearance designed to project Blue-White unity.

Ko Wen-je, founder of the Taiwan People’s Party, said he is from Hsinchu and believed Ko Hung-an had performed well. He called on voters to support her re-election. Kuomintang Chair Cheng Li-wen praised the mayor’s ability to withstand pressure and her psychological resilience.

“

I am from Hsinchu, and I think Ko Hung-an has done a good job. Please support her re-election.

Cheng said Ko Hung-an had entered the mayoral race four years earlier as a political newcomer, yet had faced pressures that many people would never encounter in a lifetime. She referred to the hardships and attacks faced by Ko Wen-je and Ko Hung-an, and urged residents to support the mayor regardless of party affiliation or political color.

The voices and needs of the residents are Ko Hung-an’s foundation for seeking re-election.

Ko Hung-an was the first candidate to register in the Hsinchu mayoral election. After the election commission completed its review, she listed achievements from nearly four years in office, including repaying 100 billion in public debt and carrying out school building reconstruction projects.

She also emphasized that she had lived in Hsinchu throughout her term rather than moving there only for the election. She said she would continue investing in construction and work with residents to create a better future for the city.

“

I have lived in Hsinchu for these four years, rather than moving to Hsinchu only for the election.
