[Reporter Zhang Congqiu/Changhua Report] Changhua County Council’s next (twentieth) chairman and deputy speaker election will be held on the 25th. The Kuomintang has pushed Xie Dianlin and Xu Yuanlong to seek re-election. This year, the Democratic Progressive Party will compete for the seat of the chairman and deputy speaker. This year, the number of seats of the DPP has grown. The party group decided to nominate senior county councilors Lai Qingmei and Li Junyu to run for the election, demonstrating the power of the opposition party in supervising the county government.

Caucus decides to demonstrate power of opposition party oversight

Lai Ching-mei, who won five consecutive championships, and Li Junyu, who will be re-elected this time after a comeback, are both senior county councilors. Among the sixteen seats of the DPP, Li Junyu has the longest seniority. Lai Qingmei is next.

Lai Qingmei said that even though they know that the number of votes is not as good as others, everyone agrees that they should not be timid in the battle for the leadership of the parliament. Individuals should not vote for themselves. They must recommend candidates to show the morale of unity and truly implement the role of outside supervision.

Yesterday, nine people attended the Party Caucus meeting. In addition to agreeing to nominate the candidates for the chairman and deputy speaker, a total of three new candidates for the leadership of the Party Caucus were nominated.

The county councilor-elect Yang Zixian said that the three leaders of the party and the group recommended senior seniors, and hoped that the seniors would lead the party group, which is half of the newcomers, to show the newcomers and new spirit of the team, so that the county people feel that although the DPP group is in opposition, it is absolutely serious and strong supervision momentum!

Changhua County has a total of 54 seats, 27 seats for the KMT, 16 seats for the DPP, nine seats for non-party members, and two seats for the Taiwan Democratic Party. , Lin Maoming, a non-party elected candidate, has been detained for bribery. It is uncertain whether he will be released before he is sworn in on the 25th. According to the fact that the Democratic Progressive Party does not account for 30% of the parliamentary seats, the KMT is sure to win the chairman and deputy speaker.
