[Reporter Cai Yahua/Taipei Report] Today is the last day for the KMT’s first-stage primary election registration for the Taipei City Legislative Council. Taipei city councilor Xu Hongting went to the city party headquarters in the morning to complete the primary election registration for the 8th constituency, challenging the current senior legislator Lai Shibao, Xu Hongting said It is a major mistake of the Kuomintang to let Lai Shibao serve in only one constituency for 24 years. Young people have to take on more responsibilities.

The KMT’s primary election for the Taipei City Legislative Committee is divided into 3 stages. The first stage of the primary election includes the 3rd, 7th, and 8th constituencies. From Wednesday to 4:00 p.m. He showed up at the party headquarters with a deposit of 1.1 million yuan, and was interviewed by the media after completing the registration.

Xu Hongting said that he is not trying to replace anyone, but that more people in this political party realize that the Republic of China has entered a super-aged society, and more young people need to take responsibility and create more possibilities.

He has been a member of the constituency for 9 years and often meets Lai Shibao, "Such an outstanding senior has only spent 24 years in one constituency. This party should bear the greatest responsibility. I hope the KMT has great wisdom.

Xu Hongting said that Lai Shibao's contribution is obvious to all. With Lai Shibao's ability and dedication, it is a big mistake of the KMT to allow an outstanding person to serve in the constituency for so long. Better seats.

Four years ago, Xu Hongting challenged Lai Shibao. Xu Hongting pointed out that at that time, the primary election was conducted with 3 or 7 points, that is, party members accounted for 30% of the votes and 70% of the polls. The number lost to Lai Shibao, because of the age structure of party members, it is very difficult for young people to vote for party members. I hope that this primary election can adopt a national poll.

After today’s registration deadline, the city’s Party Headquarters will coordinate the constituencies with multiple registrations. If the coordination fails, it will decide whether to adopt 37 points or a national poll according to each constituency. The media asked whether they will accept the Party’s coordinated exit?

Xu said that the young generation came out to run for the same idea, and it is difficult to accept the coordinated withdrawal. He called on the seniors and leaders in the party to have great wisdom, let Lai Shibao enter the non-partition, and make more contributions. The younger generation is out of continuity With the idea passed down from generation to generation, "We will not be coordinated out."
