(Central News Agency reporter Wu Che-hao, Changhua 11th) The Kuomintang's candidate for the Changhua County Magistrate election has yet to be determined. Xiao Jing-Tian, Chairman of the Changhua County Party Committee, stated today that he has suggested to the party headquarters to expedite the recruitment process, otherwise, the local party could fall into prolonged internal strife. Although he has not yet received official notification, there is a high probability that the nomination will be completed this week.
The Changhua County Magistrate election will be held at the end of the year. The Democratic Progressive Party has already nominated its legislator Chen Su-yueh, while the Kuomintang has legislators Hsieh Yi-Feng, Changhua County Industrial Development and Investment Promotion Committee Secretary-General Hung Jung-chang, Changhua County Government Counselor Ko Cheng-fang, and lawyer Wei Ping-cheng expressing their intentions.
Xiao Jing-Tian said in a telephone interview with the media that Hsieh Yi-Feng and others are all talented individuals, and the party headquarters must evaluate them based on personality traits, potential strength, and voter acceptance. The recruited candidate must also be clearly differentiated from the DPP's nominated Chen Su-yueh to give voters a fresh impression.
Xiao Jing-Tian pointed out that since recruitment is being adopted, no public opinion polls will be conducted at this time. The selection of the recruited candidate considers future potential, not the current situation. Even if the candidate's popularity is not high, there is still a chance to gain high voter recognition after several months of campaigning.
Xiao Jing-Tian said that the unresolved nomination for the County Magistrate has caused unease among local grassroots and those intending to run for county councilors and township mayors, even escalating into internal strife. Last week, he actively suggested to the party headquarters to complete the recruitment by Wednesday. He believes that the party chairman is highly receptive and did not express any opposition.
