[Reporter Cai Yahua/Taipei Report] Registration for the primary election of the KMT’s Taipei City Legislative District 7 (Nan Songshan, Xinyi District) ended yesterday, and there was a chaotic situation where 6 candidates ran for the election. Current Legislator Fei Hongtai and Taipei City Councilor Xu Qiaoxin's mutual accusations are the footholds of both parties. Zhang Jin clarified that if he wants to say the foothold, it should be Dai Xiqin, the chairman of the Taipei City Council.

Dai Xiqin issued a statement stating that he has nothing to do with the primary election registration. The perception of the multi-person registration turmoil is not good, which has caused concern at the grassroots level and may damage the overall image of the party.

Dai Xiqin said in a PO post on Facebook in the evening that Zhang Hongsen is the son of Xiqin's former supporter "Bao Ge". He inherited his father's business and opened a noodle stall in Futai. survey.

But this time Zhang Hongsen registered to run for the legislature, he had no prior knowledge, let alone intervene.

Dai Xiqin also said that Zhang Hongsen’s motives for running for the election and the source of funds, after he learned the news from the news, he called to inquire about it. Zhang said that it was for the purpose of gaining popularity in the future for the election of the district chief, and the registration fee was raised by friends. Zhang Hongsen’s words can only be faithful It is hard to say whether there are "shadow warriors" behind it or not, but he emphasized again that from the previous "egg distribution" to the primary election registration this time, he has nothing to do with him.

Dai Xiqin appealed that the supporters of the Blue Army have great expectations for the 2024 election. Fei Hongtai and Xu Qiaoxin are also outstanding comrades in the party, and they have worked hand in hand with him in many institutions in the past.

This turmoil of multiple registrations has caused poor perceptions from all walks of life, which has caused hidden worries about the subsequent victory of unity and elections, and has also aroused anxiety at the grassroots level, which may even damage the overall image of the party.

Dai Xiqin said that to make up for a dead sheep, I implore the two parties to use their wisdom, reduce harm, abide by the rules of the party's primary election game, play the demeanor of a gentleman's struggle, produce nominees that meet public expectations, and work together for another political party rotation.
