(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jun-hua, Liu Guan-ting, Taipei, 4th) The Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) jointly nominated a candidate for the Yilan County Magistrate election, and the poll results showed KMT Legislator Wu Tsung-hsien winning the nomination. Wu Tsung-hsien said today that the poll numbers don't lie, and the support for the KMT-TPP alliance is behind their opponent, lawyer Lin Kuo-chang, nominated by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). He vowed to work harder to win the recognition of Yilan residents.
The KMT and TPP will jointly nominate a candidate for the Yilan County Magistrate election, with KMT-nominated Wu Tsung-hsien and TPP-nominated former legislator Chen Wan-hui competing for the spot. This morning, both parties held a press conference to announce the "Blue-White Alliance Yilan County Magistrate Poll Results," revealing Wu Tsung-hsien as the winner to face DPP-nominated Lin Kuo-chang.
According to the poll results, if the KMT-TPP alliance nominates Wu Tsung-hsien against Lin Kuo-chang, Wu Tsung-hsien's support is 27.6% and Lin Kuo-chang's is 28.9%. If the KMT-TPP alliance nominates Chen Wan-hui, Chen Wan-hui's support is 21.1% and Lin Kuo-chang's is 27.5%.
Chen Wan-hui said that in the coming battle, Wu Tsung-hsien will be the captain. Yilan desperately needs reform and change, and she and Wu Tsung-hsien will support the blue-white integration, emphasizing the importance of securing Yilan in this election and sending Wu Tsung-hsien to the Yilan County Government as magistrate by the end of 2026.
Wu Tsung-hsien stated that throughout the primary process, he never attacked his opponents but instead focused on policies, completing the primary in a positive manner. In the future, he will launch three major initiatives: "Charge" to create the best policies, not about giving gifts, but about reducing the burden on people's lives, which is the starting point for all policies, and all policies will be carefully calculated to ensure sufficient budget before being launched.
Wu Tsung-hsien pointed out that "Strive" means making good use of resources from neighboring counties and cities and cooperating on policies, making "Taipei-New Taipei-Keelung-Taoyuan" a historical term and creating a large metropolis of 9.5 million people in "Taipei-New Taipei-Keelung-Taoyuan-Yilan," mutually assisting and cooperating to attract more external talent to develop in Yilan. For "Unite," future talent recruitment in the county government will be cross-party and cross-family. He does not need to be accountable to any specific conglomerate or faction.
Wu Tsung-hsien said that poll numbers don't lie, and the support for the KMT-TPP alliance is behind their opponent Lin Kuo-chang. He vowed to work harder to win the recognition of Yilan residents. With the current disadvantage in the polls, he urged all who identify with his ideas, whether supporting the blue-white alliance or swing voters, to unite and fight together to transform Yilan.
In addition, media asked whether there would be cooperation with the KMT at the township/city magistrate level in the future, besides county/city magistrates, and whether Changhua County Councilor Wu Wei-da would run for Changhua County Magistrate. TPP Secretary-General Chou Yu-hsiu said that discussions on cooperation with the KMT have never stopped, and both sides will further discuss plans for township/city magistrate elections. As for Wu Wei-da, he will strive for re-election as Changhua County Councilor.
KMT Vice Chairman Lee Chien-lung said that there should be good news regarding the nomination for Changhua County Magistrate this week. (Edited by Wan Shu-chang) 1150504
