Mayor Huang Weizhe, who attended the meeting, said that under the principle of party group autonomy, he hoped that the new party group would negotiate with all parties, including non-party members and Speaker Guo Xinliang, on the re-election of the new parliamentary chairperson and deputy speaker, so as to achieve complete harmony and let the government and council work together. for the welfare of citizens.

Cai Yuhui, spokesman for the Kuomintang League, said that the Kuomintang has only 15 seats and its strength is limited. It can cooperate with non-party parties.

But for the deputy speaker, the KMT should try its best to fight for it.

Future candidates respect the candidate finally launched by the party group.

Li Wenjun, the deputy speaker, said that he did not insist on running for the speaker's election. If the KMT speaker wanted to nominate him, he would try his best to stand for the election and win support. If he was not nominated, he would not force it.
