[Reporter Chen Zhengyu/Taipei Report] The 2024 general election started. He Bowen, chairman of the New Taipei City Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, announced today (22) that he would vote for the New Taipei First Constituency (Tamshui, Sanzhi, Shimen, Taishan, Linkou, and Bali). In the election of the committee, he was supported by cross factions in the party.

He Bowen said that based on the harmony within the party and the extra points of the general election, as the chairman of the party department, he must unite and take responsibility personally, so he gave up his life in Banqiao and moved to Danshui.

He Bowen held a press conference today to announce his candidacy. In the speech meeting, legislators Wang Dingyu, Zhao Tianlin, and Lin Chuyin, legislators Wu Qiming and Chen Oupo of the National Assembly, new legislators Shen Fahui, Taipei City Councilor, Central Standing Committee Xu Shuhua, and British New Taipei City Councilors Zhong Hongren and other cross-factional and cross-regional members of the party participated in the grand event to create a sense of unity.

He Bowen said that in order to strive to enter Congress to do more for the people, he resolutely gave up the chance of being re-elected, and at the same time cultivated outstanding young people to take over, which is completely in line with the values ​​and concepts of the DPP. Protecting Taiwan and building the North Coast will work hard, vowing to become a member of the "North Sea Fleet" of Lai Qingde's presidential campaign, and special thanks to former New Taipei City Legislator Lu Sunling, and New Taipei City Council Democratic Progressive Party Chief Caller Zheng Yuen for their concession and cooperation.

He Bowen was interviewed and explained that there will inevitably be competition and conflicts in the party's primary elections. As the chairman of the party department, he must take responsibility for how to make the party harmonious. Au Banqiao participated in the primary election to avoid fierce competition, and at the same time continue to open up territory; the North Coast is a place he is very familiar with, and he has a very clear understanding of the development of the North Coast.

Wang Dingyu, the convener of the Talking Talk, said that the DPP is a highly competitive and highly cooperative group. Competition and unity are all for the sake of locality, not for mutual barriers. He Bowen is a person who is willing to give and carry the sedan chair for others. I hope to restore the hometown of former President Lee Teng-hui and increase the number of seats in the National Assembly. Lu Sunling and Zheng Yuen are both qualified and legitimate to take on this responsibility, so I am very moved by their selfless courtesy.

Shen Fahui pointed out that he has three reasons to support He Bowen. First, the Democratic Progressive Party has been ups and downs in the constituency for 20 years, but the North Coast is a place worthy of deep root development; He Bowen is sitting there, he can be said to be a good partner in the council; third, judging from the long-term development of the DPP in New Taipei City, except for Xindian and Yonghe, which have special structures, Tamsui is the last piece that the DPP should conquer and finish. Puzzle place.

Chen Oppo said that he congratulates and thanks He Bowen for his brave commitment. Every candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party unanimously defends Taiwan. Breathe new life into Congress.

Wu Qiming said that He Bowen served as the chairman of the New Taipei City Party Committee, spared no effort for the local platform, and was willing to take on difficult constituencies. He is the best example of the DPP.

On the 22nd, He Bowen, the chairman of the New Taipei City Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, announced his participation in the election of legislators with the support of the party's cross-factional Mindai, challenging Hong Mengkai, a Kuomintang legislator.
