(CNA Reporter Tsai Meng-yu, Kaohsiung, 22nd) The Kuomintang (KMT) Kaohsiung City Committee today announced the results of the internal party primary polls for the 7th electoral district (Sanmin District) for city councilor. Former councilor Tung Yen-chen won with an overwhelming margin, securing the third nomination spot out of three for the district. The other two spots are held by incumbent councilors Huang Po-lin and Huang Hsiang-shu.
72-year-old Tung Yen-chen, who has served five terms as a Kaohsiung City councilor, failed to win re-election in 2022. However, she continued to cultivate local grassroots support and is making a comeback in the Kaohsiung City Council elections at the end of this year.

The KMT Kaohsiung City Committee announced the poll results today, witnessed by Vice Chairman Wang Yueh-tsu, election monitoring committee members, polling experts, polling agencies, and the two primary candidates. The results were confirmed by those present.
The City Committee stated that the two polling agencies selected by the registered candidates were TVBS and National Credibility. The combined poll results ranked Tung Yen-chen at 82.821% and Sun Chien-ping at 22.332%.
The City Committee emphasized that the polling was conducted in a fair, just, and open manner. All procedures adhered to the party's primary regulations, and the nominated candidate will be reported to the central committee based on these results.
