  • Taiwan People First Party chairman Ko Wen-je will campaign in Taichung on Saturday with local council candidate Chiu Yu-shan.
  • The event will include visits to local businesses and a market, adjusted due to typhoon aftermath.
  • Chiu Yu-shan expressed confidence in Ko's support, calling him the "strongest uncle" backing her campaign.

Ko Wen-je, chairman of Taiwan's People First Party and former Taipei mayor, is scheduled to campaign in Taichung on Saturday. He will join Chiu Yu-shan, a candidate for the Taichung City North District council seat, in a bid to garner support ahead of the year-end local elections.

The planned itinerary includes visits to local businesses, such as the popular Dongdong Yu Yuan store in Dakeng, and a stop at the Xin Yidianli twilight market. These locations were chosen after an initial plan to hike a popular trail was canceled due to lingering effects from Typhoon Bawei, which left the trails closed.

Chiu Yu-shan, often referred to as "Auntie," expressed her enthusiasm for Ko's support, stating, "The strongest uncle is supporting the strongest auntie." She hopes his presence will boost her campaign efforts in the competitive North District, which has seen a surge in candidates.

The joint campaign event aims to energize voters and solidify support for Chiu Yu-shan, as the election countdown intensifies. Ko Wen-je's participation underscores the party's commitment to supporting its local candidates in key electoral battles.

The strongest uncle is supporting the strongest auntie.
