DPP Nantou County chapter inaugurates new chairman, eyes electoral 'turnaround'

Wu Chi-nan officially assumed leadership of the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) Nantou County chapter, taking over from former chairwoman Chen Yu-ling. The handover ceremony was overseen by county councilor Su Yu-cheng.

As the new chairman, Wu stated his immediate priority is to strategize for the upcoming mayoral elections in Nantou City and other major townships. The party aims to field strong candidates in these key areas to support the DPP's bid for the Nantou County Magistrate position in the year-end elections.

The DPP currently has a candidate in the mayoral race for Zhushan Township, with the support of allied forces. For Nantou City, the party is actively seeking to nominate county councilor Shen Su-cheng, hoping her candidacy will bring a breakthrough, particularly by leveraging younger talent.

Following the Nantou City nomination, the party will focus on recruiting candidates for Puli and Caotun townships. The goal is to have candidates in place for all four major township mayoral races, working in unison with county magistrate candidate Wen Shih-cheng to gain public support and create an opportunity for a political "turnaround" in Nantou.

Wu Chi-nan will promptly arrange candidates for the Nantou mayoral election and leaders of major townships, assisting the DPP's Nantou County Magistrate candidate to strive for a turnaround in the year-end elections.
