Kaohsiung, April 26 (CNA) — Lai Rui-long, the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) candidate for Kaohsiung mayor and a legislator, today held the establishment meeting for his Xiaogang support association. Fellow party legislators Chiu Yi-ying, Hsu Chih-chieh, Lee Kun-tse, along with Kaohsiung City Council Speaker Kang Yu-cheng and several city councilors, attended to speak, demonstrating a united front for the DPP in Kaohsiung.
Lai Rui-long stated that Xiaogang is an important gateway for Kaohsiung to the world, possessing not only an international airport, port, and coastal industrial zone, but also hardworking laborers who are a key force supporting the city's development. In the past, Xiaogang has long borne the costs of industrial development, and in the future, it should be upgraded into a livable, progressive, and hopeful city.
Lai Rui-long also put forth his "four endeavors" promises for Xiaogang, including striving for more complete transportation with accelerated completion of MRT and national highway construction; striving for industrial upgrading to drive the overall transformation of the airport, port area, and industrial zones; striving for environmental justice with the smooth implementation of the Dailinpu relocation; and striving for livable communities with perfected parks and green spaces, sports facilities, childcare, and long-term care facilities.
Chiu Yi-ying stated that although there was competition during the primary, they maintained good sportsmanship. The DPP has deep affection for Kaohsiung, and both she and Lai Rui-long prioritize Kaohsiung's municipal affairs. Kaohsiung needs a good mayor and a complete city council team to maximize combat effectiveness. She asked all citizens to continue supporting Lai Rui-long to hit a home run together.
When asked if there would be an opportunity for all Kaohsiung DPP legislators to unite in the future, Lai Rui-long said that the DPP's tradition is to unite against external challenges. Today's demonstration of unity once again proves that the Kaohsiung team is united, and they will collectively safeguard the excellent performance of incumbent Mayor Chen Chi-mai and achieve the goals of mayoral victory and a council majority.
The DPP's Taipei mayoral candidate is not yet determined, and it is rumored that DPP legislator Shen Po-yang is highly favored. Lai Rui-long commented that Shen Po-yang is an outstanding new generation within the party, showing professionalism in the Legislative Yuan and being an excellent talent. He looks forward to a new generation alliance between the North and Kaohsiung to create the strongest team together. The image of the DPP's new generation rising and taking over will also gain more support from the public. (Editor: Lin Shu-hui) 1150426
