Although the election results have not yet been released, due to factors such as many members of the Tainan City Council not seeking re-election or changing the runway, the next city council will at least add more The 9 newcomers account for nearly 1/6 of the seats to be elected in the Tainan City Council. Who will qualify for the 9 newcomers will also determine the future chairman and deputy speaker elections.

There are 57 seats for Tainan City Councilors to be elected, and there are currently 55 seats.

The other 7 seats are members of the Democratic Progressive Party Tang Bi'e, Lin Zhicong and Lin Yangyi, Xie Caiwang, and Gu Mu.

Six people including Hajiu and Zeng Xinkai did not run for re-election, while Xie Longjie, a member of the Kuomintang, switched to the mayoral election.

In the election 4 years ago, among the 57 seats, the Democratic Progressive Party won 25 seats, the KMT 16 seats, the non-party 14 seats, and the United Taiwan Federation and Times Force 1 seat each.

Among them, due to factors such as the election of legislators, replacements, and deaths, the existing seats have changed slightly. The Democratic Progressive Party maintained 25 seats, the KMT lost 1 seat and left 15 seats, the non-party 13 seats, and the Taiwan Federation and Shili each remained unchanged.

According to the analysis of members of the Democratic Progressive Party, the majority of seats in the next new parliament will be 29 seats. If you can get the Austrian aid from your allies, you will have a way to control more than half of the seats in the parliament.

On the contrary, the opposition camp still has a chance, so today's election results, who will get the 9 new blood, will also determine the next election of the chairman and deputy speaker.
