[Reporter Zhou Xiangyun/New Taipei Report] The election office of New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi said that many people recently received a recorded call, the other party claimed to be Hou Youyi's good friend and legislator Yu Tian, ​​saying that Hou Youyi would be elected president, this time the mayor voted for the DPP New Taipei Mayor candidate Lin Jialong.

New Taipei City councilor Ye Yuanzhi and councilor candidate Wu Xunxiao held a press conference today to criticize that Lin Jialong was simply trying to make it difficult for him to enter the cabinet after the election.

Yu Tian said in an interview yesterday that he and Hou Youyi have been friends for 30 to 40 years. This recording of the phone call is not to scold Hou Youyi, but to praise him. He said that at present, it seems that only Hou is the most promising candidate for the Kuomintang’s 2024 presidential candidate. It's a waste of resources to run for president.

Ye Yuanzhi said at a press conference today that people in administrative districts including Xizhi, Banqiao, Sanchong, and Luzhou have responded to the recording of a phone call claiming to be Yu Tian, ​​"He said that he is also a good friend with Mayor Hou, but Hou's pattern is to elect the president. Please vote for Lin Jialong."

But what Yu Tian meant when he was interviewed was actually to support Hou Youyi. It could be seen that the two had a deep friendship, which meant that Yu Tian couldn't help himself. What kind of pressure did the DPP and Lin Jialong put on Yu Tian?

Ye Yuanzhi criticized that elections are temporary, and friends are forever. In order to join the cabinet after the election, Lin Jialong embarrassed and forced Yu Tian, ​​and even provoked and destroyed the relationship between Hou Youyi and Yu Tian for decades, which is very immoral.

In addition, the government party sent so many manpower to assist Lin Jialong, which made the police force exhausted and had to work overtime all the time, which was also an embarrassment for the police.

Wu Xunxiao said that Yu Tian had a deep relationship with Hou Youyi in his words, but he was very worried about whether Yu Tian would be punished by party discipline for this?

In the past, the mayor of Lanying County regarded Sanchong and Luzhou as difficult constituencies, but Hou Youyi almost hit five or five waves in the 2018 mayoral election. Lin Jialong may have been very frightened because of this, and he would put pressure on Yu Tian, ​​a fellow party member.
