When asked about the election results, what needs to be improved?

Li Junyu said that postponing the election for three weeks is a serious test of the candidate's physical strength and willpower. In addition to the low turnout rate in this election, he needs to rethink in many places, which direction is not good; thank you for the support of the folks in Chiayi today. , Thanks for giving him warmth, no matter when standing at the intersection or sweeping the street to ask for tickets, the folks gestured to cheer, and gave him hot coffee or food, which made him feel warm. With the encouragement of the folks, he will continue to move forward.

Some people think that the defeat of the election was a "crime other than war" caused by the 9-in-1 tsunami. Li Junyu responded that he does not think the general environment is a factor that he wants to review. The important thing is to respect the choices of the citizens after the election results are released, and what the future of Jiashi will be like. Citizens have made a lot of voices about development. Yesterday he also made such a suggestion with his opponent, Mayor Huang Minhui of the Kuomintang. He hoped that Jiashi would continue to improve and advance by leaps and bounds. He would continue to work hard to care for Jiashi.

Li Junyu was asked that the election process was considered a Buddhist campaign and lacked aggressiveness?

He responded that in the past, in the Legislative Yuan or in the election process, straight-ball confrontation in terms of policy has always been his style, and he also adheres to this principle.

He said that the most important thing in democratic politics is to talk about ideas and opinions on urban development. From the beginning to the end of this election process, he did not attack individuals or talk about personal affairs.

He believes that Jiashi does have a lot of things that need to be changed and strengthened. If someone thinks this is too Buddhist, he will accept criticism, but he believes that persistence is right, and what the citizens care about is to make Jiashi better.

As for the next plan, will you stay in Chiayi?

Li Junyu said that he has lived in Chiayi for more than 20 years and has never left Chiayi. Where he works is another matter. He continues to think about how to make the place better. The election has just ended, and what he wants to do most is to rest for a few days.
