Taiwan People’s Party launches Taoyuan team, calls for blue-white cooperation

The Taiwan People’s Party has formally put its Taoyuan team into the race, presenting four city council candidates at a rally outside the Taoyuan City Election Commission.

Party Secretary-General Chou Yu-hsiu appeared with candidates Hsu Chien-ching, Chou Hsiao-yun, Lin Yen-liang and Wu Cheng-chi. He described the group as the party’s “most elite force” and said the party welcomed anyone who supported the four candidates.

Chou said the team would build its own campaign while maintaining good relations with Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng and Council Speaker Chiu Yi-ying, both from the Kuomintang. He said the party could invite Chang to campaign for its candidates at an appropriate time.

Chou also said the Taoyuan team would uphold integrity and goodwill and work with Chang and Chiu. He expressed hope that political circumstances in Zhubei, Hsinchu County, would not produce spillover effects in Taoyuan.

Hung Yu-hsiang said Taoyuan’s rapid growth had brought transportation and livelihood problems that required representatives able to solve residents’ problems. He said the four candidates had built local support through constituency services and work on public issues. Hung added that he had established channels for cooperation with Chang and would arrange joint appearances to project an atmosphere of “blue-white cooperation for Taoyuan.”
