[Reporter Zheng Mingxiang/Taipei Report] The prospective Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan resigned as a legislator before the election, and the by-election of the legislators in the 3rd electoral district (Zhongshan and Beisongshan) of Beishi City will be held immediately; After the election but before taking office, it would be "a bit embarrassing" to go to register for the by-election of legislators, and the candidates currently on the table are all capable. We call on the Party Central Committee to conduct polls and start recruitment as soon as possible.

Compared with the Democratic Progressive Party, which already has the chairman of the Magnificent Taiwan Alliance, Wu Yinong, and Taipei City Councilor Ruan Chaoxiong, who have already declared their candidatures, the KMT has many names, but most of them are unwilling to participate in the war. There are even pessimistic voices in the party, who believe that the campaign will fail undoubtedly.

In an interview today, Wang Hongwei reiterated that she has no intention of running for election, especially if she has just finished the election and has not yet taken office. It would be "a little embarrassing" to register. However, Luo Shulei, a former legislator in the party, has expressed her willingness to run for the election. Many suitable candidates have also come to the table, and those named by the outside world have a chance of winning the election. It is hoped that the Party Central Committee will conduct polls and start recruitment as soon as possible.

Regarding the downbeat voices from the outside world and within the party, Wang Hongwei said that she respects opinions from all walks of life, but it is true that the time for the by-election is tight. The KMT used to be busy with the election of county and city mayors. Faced with difficult problems such as the resignation of the party chairman, "They should be more chaotic than us!"
