For the year-end election of Hsinchu City's North District councilors, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will nominate 3 candidates. As 4 people were vying for the spots, the DPP's Hsinchu City chapter announced the poll results today. The scores were as follows: Lin Shih-kai with 711.5801 points, Tseng Kuo-wei with 500.6374 points, Tai Chen-po with 457.8499 points, and incumbent councilor Yang Ling-yi with 376.2275 points. Among them, Yang Ling-yi is confirmed to be nominated as she is covered by the women's reserved quota.
Yang Ling-yi told CNA via text message that the primary poll results were not as expected, and she humbly accepts them. She will also deeply review her shortcomings, adjust her pace, and stand up again. She is not afraid of the year-end election and her supervision of municipal affairs and her concern and responsibility for Hsinchu City will not be diminished by this.
Lin Shih-kai expressed his gratitude to the citizens for their affirmation of a newcomer. In the future, he will continue the service energy of incumbent councilor Liu Kang-yan, continue to cultivate the grassroots, propose concrete political views, and strive for more support to enter the council, push Hsinchu's municipal administration back on track, and enhance the stable foundation for the city's long-term development.
Tseng Kuo-wei expressed his gratitude to the party members who participated in the primary. Although they were competitors, they were also an important force for each other's growth. Passing the primary is not the end, but a new beginning. He will work harder for the year-end election and not disappoint everyone's expectations.
Tai Chen-po stated that he accepts and respects the results. Although he failed to pass the primary, he still fought a good fight. During this period, he heard many citizens' expectations and suggestions for local development. He will keep these voices in his heart, and they will become an important direction for his future efforts and continuous progress, hoping that his hometown will be better.
