New Taipei Candidate Lee Chih-kung to Follow KMT Campaign Plan

New Taipei City candidate Lee Chih-kung stated that he will adhere to the Kuomintang (KMT) party's central campaign plan for joint appearances, addressing concerns about not yet campaigning alongside party chairwoman Jaw Shaw-kong.

Lee's comments followed the release of a poll by the Election Study Center, which indicated a slight decrease of 2.3% in New Taipei residents' favorability towards the KMT after Jaw Shaw-kong's return from a US visit. The poll showed KMT favorability at 29.3% in June, down from 31.6% in May.

I have said before that the central party headquarters will definitely have a campaign plan for all candidates, and I will proceed according to the central campaign plan.

During a visit to the Xiang Ren He Bell and Drum Factory in New Taipei's Xinzhuang district, Lee reiterated his commitment to the party's strategic approach. "I have said before that the central party headquarters will definitely have a campaign plan for all candidates, and I will proceed according to the central campaign plan," he stated.

Lee highlighted his extensive outreach efforts over the past three months, visiting all 29 districts of New Taipei. He expressed gratitude for the support received from various women's groups and residents across party lines, emphasizing the encouragement and backing he has garnered throughout his campaign.

“

Today I see so many women's groups giving me their support. In the past three months, I have visited all 29 districts. Frankly, everywhere I go, not only the women, but residents from all parties give me their support and encouragement. Thank you all.
