[Reporter Wang Shuxiu/Tainan Report] Registration for the primary election of DPP legislators started today. The party intends to challenge the current legislators in Tainan. In addition to the former Director of Tourism and Tourism Guo Zhenhui, there are also rumors of former congressman Cai Wangquan and current congressman Shen Zhendong , to PK Lin Junxian and Chen Tingfei respectively.

In this regard, Cai Wangquan said that he is indeed preparing, "the deposit is still a bit short"; Shen Zhendong denied the rumors.

Lin Junxian responded that everything will follow the provisions of the party constitution.

Cai Wangquan said that there are indeed voices in the local area who hope to be elected as a legislator. The failure of the re-election challenge gave him time and space to think. First of all, in order to show his determination to cultivate the local area, he cooperated with legislator Chen Tingfei to establish The Eastern District Joint Service Office also continued to operate, and the service was not closed; secondly, facing the defeat of the Democratic Progressive Party in the nine-in-one general election, as well as the various party affairs reforms of the party chairman Lai Qingde, he wanted to join the ranks of the primary election of the Legislative Council. But frankly, the current "margin is still a bit short", and I believe that there will be a final decision in the near future.
