Huang Kuo-chang described the two parties’ cooperation in Chiayi as smooth and unbreakable. He said the Taiwan People’s Party would work fully to send Chang to city hall and continue Huang Min-hui’s record of municipal administration, treating all residents as family.

Huang Min-hui called for unity after public polling selected the candidate. She said the blue-white partnership was built on shared principles and again declared her support for Chang to continue what she called Chiayi’s “happy city” tradition. She also urged people not to be swayed by rumors.

His platform includes continuing Huang’s 10 flagship programs and presenting 15 policy proposals.
