He said that based on Chairman Kang’s proficient deliberation experience in the past, coupled with his familiarity with the law and the entire municipality, and the good popularity and service of Deputy Speaker Zeng regardless of party affiliation, he believes that whether it is promoting the municipality in the future, it will have a bearing on the well-being of Kaohsiung citizens and the people. For various policies, the government must respect the principle of parliamentary harmony and work together to build Kaohsiung regardless of party affiliation.

He mentioned that the election of the chairman and deputy speaker is only a process. The important thing is to continue to abandon the confrontation between different political parties and make the government more harmonious. We will try our best to communicate and coordinate with the city council.

The media asked that the people are not worthy, is the mayor Chen Qimai pushing behind?
