(Central News Agency reporter Jiang Yi-ching, Yunlin County, 21st) The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Yunlin County chapter announced yesterday the conscription of former Taiwan People's Party Yunlin County chapter chairman Lin Jing-guan to run for Yunlin County Councilor in the First Electoral District. The party today presented three reasons, explaining that the conscription of Lin Jing-guan has the conditions for striving for victory.
The DPP Yunlin County chapter issued a press release stating that regarding the party's nomination process for county councilors in Yunlin County's First Electoral District, the party's election strategy working group carefully deliberated the overall election situation, local needs, and future development layout. After unanimous approval of all decisions, the party's executive committee yesterday reviewed and unanimously approved the resolution to conscript Lin Jing-guan to represent the party in the election.
The party offered three reasons. First, in the last county councilor election, Lin Jing-guan narrowly missed being elected, which shows he had already garnered a considerable proportion of voter support and possesses a strong grassroots foundation and development potential. Therefore, the party affirms his continuous efforts to cultivate the local area and serve the community, believing he possesses the solid conditions to re-enter the race and strive for victory.
Secondly, considering the current candidate layout in Yunlin County's First Electoral District (Douliu, Linnei, Cihtong), there is currently no representative from Linnei Township. To balance geographical representation and breadth of service, conscripting Lin Jing-guan into the election will not only fill the local voice from Linnei Township but also help broaden the overall electoral district's vote source, enhancing the DPP's overall strength in securing seats.
Finally, Lin Jing-guan has long been concerned with local affairs, and his family background is also aligned with the DPP's ideals. His father, Lin Sheng-hsiung, was a former DPP member, showing continuity in values and beliefs.
The DPP Yunlin County chapter stated that it hopes through this conscription to unite generational forces, continuously deepen local services, and expand its energy to strive for the people of Yunlin.
The DPP Yunlin County chapter emphasized that both the nomination and conscription mechanisms are based on the consideration of overall victory. In the future, it will continue to integrate various forces, consolidate consensus for unity, strive for the greatest support from the community, and work together with full effort for the progress and development of Yunlin.
