[Reporter Wang Shuxiu/Tainan Report] The DPP Tainan City Speaker and Deputy Speaker election registration ended at noon yesterday (5th), and only Qiu Lili registered as the speaker; Guo Xinliang, the current non-party speaker, also officially responded today that he will fight hard re-elected.

Mayor Huang Weizhe pointed out in an interview today that tolerance is the key to maintaining unity. He does not hope that in the election of the chairman and deputy speaker, no one from the Democratic Progressive Party will leave.

Huang Weizhe said that according to the results of the DPP election this year and the support of its allies, the speaker election should have a better result. Although the DPP seats in other counties and cities do not have so many seats, they can all be based on the premise of "tolerance for the party." In this case, we can have a good result, but we don’t want Tainan, which was relatively well-selected, to have any exodus.

He also emphasized that the Democratic Progressive Party Group will still coordinate with the non-party congressman and speaker Guo Xinliang in various ways. After all, everyone is working hard for the citizens, not for individuals. Everyone stands on the development of Tainan City and the rights and interests of citizens, and everyone can work together. Work hard, this is also the original intention of running for public office. I hope everyone can let go of their prejudices and communicate well.

Of the 57 members of the next Tainan City Council, the Democratic Progressive Party won 28 seats, plus 1 Taiwan Federation, 1 Fundamental Progressive Party and other pan-green allies. The Progressive Party will have the opportunity to regain control of the City Council.
