[Reporter Chen Xinyu/Taipei Report] The Democratic Progressive Party was defeated in the nine-in-one election. Premier Su Zhenchang verbally resigned to President Tsai Ing-wen on the 26th, but he was comforted. It was also rumored that the outgoing Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang was the candidate for the Minister of Transportation. Regarding this, Minister of Transport Wang Guocai responded in an interview at the Legislative Yuan this morning (28th) that Lin performed very well in Keelung and is suitable for any position.

Wang Guocai also said that he worked hard to complete what he should do every day, and it was up to the government to decide whether there would be any changes to the cabinet.
