(Central News Agency reporter Cheng Wei-chen, Changhua, 4th) Hsiao Ching-tien, chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) Changhua County Party Headquarters, said today that five individuals are currently being evaluated as KMT candidates for Changhua County Magistrate, and New Taipei City Deputy Mayor Liu Ho-jan is also one of the options. He stated that everything respects the central party's considerations and decisions.
KMT Vice Chairman Lee Chien-lung said today that there should be good news regarding the Changhua County Magistrate nomination this week. Those vying for the nomination include KMT Legislator Hsieh Yi-feng, Hung Jung-chang, secretary-general of the Changhua County Industrial Development and Investment Promotion Committee, Ko Cheng-fang, counselor of the Changhua County Government, and lawyer Wei Ping-cheng. Recently, there have also been rumors within the party that Liu Ho-jan might be one of the drafted candidates.
Hsiao Ching-tien told the Central News Agency reporter that there are currently five individuals being evaluated within the party for the Changhua County Magistrate position. In addition to the four who have expressed their intention to run, Liu Ho-jan has also been listed as an option. As for when the candidate will become clear, Hsiao Ching-tien said that he has not yet received notification from the central party and hopes that the nomination process will be advanced as soon as possible, but everything respects the central party's considerations and decisions.
Ko Cheng-fang said that he still hopes that local candidates will be prioritized and that the nomination process will be accelerated. Hung Jung-chang said that he respects the central party's decision but suggested that candidates with long-term local operations should be given priority.
Wei Ping-cheng said that if the KMT is willing to give him a chance, he will do his best. If someone else is drafted, he will withdraw from the election and fully assist in the campaign, emphasizing that the KMT must not split.
Hsieh Yi-feng previously stated that if everyone believes that a primary election method would be fairer, she suggests that those interested in running should jointly conduct a coordinated poll. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150504
