The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) issued a press release today stating that to allow voters to understand the multiple facets of their candidates, following the launch of the 'Fun Taiwan - Subscribe to Good Talents' program on their official YouTube channel, the official Instagram has also launched the 'DPP VIP - I Vote for You, County/City Mayor' project. Using in-depth text interviews paired with magazine-style illustration layouts, it shares the mayoral candidates' visions for the local future and their unknown personal stories with netizens.
The DPP stated that the first episode of the 'DPP VIP' project, released last week, was headlined by an interview with Yilan County Magistrate candidate Lin Kuo-chang. A profound foundation of 30 years of local service allows Lin to be deeply familiar with Yilan's pride. Having witnessed Yilan's development history, Lin knows the citizens' needs like the back of his hand. Through the 'DPP VIP' interview, Lin declared to voters his pioneering spirit, promising to be a 'magistrate for all' and a helmsman who truly understands Yilan.
The DPP said that the second episode released today is taken over by Keelung Mayoral candidate Tung Tzu-wei. Tung recounted that he is a 'child who grew up in Keelung.' Always maintaining a mindset that disregards blue-green partisan divides and only focuses on municipal affairs, he became a 'cross-party speaker.' In the interview, he also talked freely about his blueprint for urban spatial construction, pointed directly at Keelung's traffic pain points, and proposed specific goals to make Keelung the 'most livable characteristic harbor city in Taiwan.'
Tung Tzu-wei analyzed that to achieve this goal, they must fully push forward in three major areas: 'elderly care,' 'youth pressure reduction,' and 'city-port integration.' Only by first stabilizing the 'people' can a city accumulate the energy for its subjectivity.
Ruan Chun-ta stated that the mayoral candidates nominated by the DPP this time each possess professional experience, a passion for service, and a governance vision, presenting an overall image entirely different from the Kuomintang (KMT) candidates. The DPP will update graphic interviews and audio-visual programs weekly across all social media platforms, allowing netizens to deeply understand the personal stories and campaign propositions of these 'excellent local talents.'
