[Reporter Yu Zhaofu/Keelung Report] The 20th Keelung Speaker election "changed the sky". The key person is Zhang Fangli, the 8th member of the Kuomintang and former Keelung Speaker. Her key vote successfully stopped Hu and helped the DPP nominate Tongzi Wei Gong took the position of speaker.

Zhang Fangli said that Tong Yong, Tong Ziwei's grandfather and chairman of Qing'an Palace, gave her a helping hand when she was in financial trouble. She decided to vote for Tong Ziwei in the speaker election because of "repaying her kindness".

Wu Guosheng, chairman of the Keelung City Party Committee of the Kuomintang, said that he is very sorry for this result. He will discuss it first at the disciplinary meeting, and he will certainly be punished by the party. However, how to deal with it needs to be discussed. .

Members of the Kuomintang were surprised by Zhang Fangli's "running votes". Facing pressure from the Keelung City Party Office to expel her membership, Zhang Fangli said that tomorrow she would go through the procedure of quitting the party by herself.

The results of the 20th city councilor election, among the 31 councilors, the KMT won 13 seats, the DPP won 12 seats, the People First Party won 2 seats, and 4 were non-party members.

The Kuomintang will be elected as the deputy speaker by the current speaker Cai Wanglian and He Shuping.

The Democratic Progressive Party and the People First Party are planning to form a cross-party supervision alliance. Tong Ziwei of the DPP and Yang Xiuyu of the People First Party are running for the chairman and deputy speaker.

The DPP plus non-party allies Chen Mingjian and Lin Minxun have 14 votes.

The Democratic Progressive Party issued a statement last night, stating that it will form a super-partisan, cross-public opinion, and cross-concept monitoring alliance with the People First Party. With the addition of Yang Xiuyu and Guo Meixiu of the People First Party, the majority can be obtained.

Unexpectedly, Guo Meixiu was not on the same front as Yang Xiuyu when the balloting began. Guo Meixiu voted for Cai Wanglian, forming 15 votes each for the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party.

If the first round of voting is less than half, according to the rules of procedure will enter the second round of voting, as long as the relative majority can qualify, the election results will become complicated.

Zhang Fangli said that Tong Yong has been taking care of her brother's work. When her house was about to be auctioned, it was Tong Yong who helped her through the difficulties.

Last night, Tong Yong personally called Kentuo. This term of councilor is also her last term as a city councillor. There is no chance to repay Tong Yong in the future, so she decided to vote for Tong Ziwei.

Zhang Fangli said that tomorrow (26th) she will withdraw from the Kuomintang, because she ran for 8 city councilors, and the Keelung City Party Department has never helped her.

In 2000, she was elected as the deputy speaker. In 2010, she ran for re-election as the speaker. Both times she was nominated by the party, but both times she fell because of the party's "hands-on."

Zhang Fangli, the former Keelung City Council Speaker of the Kuomintang, voted for Tong Ziwei, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, to serve as the speaker today on the grounds of "repaying her kindness". Successfully snatched the seat of Speaker of the Keelung City Council, which is the head of Taiwan.
