[Reporter Huang Xulei/Kaohsiung Report] Kaohsiung City’s mountain aborigines voted for the election of the district chief of the 3rd district. The Democratic Progressive Party nominated a seat in Maolin in an attempt to overturn the long-term ruling situation of the blue battalion. However, the hope of “turning from blue to green” failed. Newcomer Luo Weizhi and Taoyuan District were won by Xingnong Du Siwei. As for Namaxia District, Chen Qimai appointed acting district chief Kong Xianjie to win the election.

Election sources pointed out that Mayor Chen Qimai only got 706 votes in District 3 of Yuanxiang four years ago, while KMT opponent Han Guoyu got 5,551 votes. Almost all lost, but unfortunately did not win the district mayor seat.

Kong Xianjie, the mayor-elect of Namasia District, is regarded as a pan-green camp. Chen Qimai appointed the acting district chief two years ago; Kong Xianjie said that he will continue Mayor Maimai's high-quality policies to benefit the villagers.

Du Siwei (Andrew Isbabanal, 46 years old), the mayor-elect of Taoyuan District, is the youngest candidate without party affiliation. Using the experience of working as a project manager in Silicon Valley, the United States, we will strengthen the packaging of exquisite agriculture in the hometown, so that "all young people will come back."

Kong Xianjie's camp wildly congratulates him for winning the election.
