〉's joint press release, co-signed by Taichung City Councilors Zhang Liao Nailun, Chen Bentian, Huang Jiatian, Luo Yongzhen, Luo Tingwei, and Changhua County Councilor Cao Jiahao, suggested that the KMT Central Committee speed up the presidential nomination process and recruit New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi to run for the current presidential election people, leading the Kuomintang to return to power.

Zhang Yantong said that in an era when everything is rising, the DPP, as the ruling party, let the Kuomintang see that it is fighting politics and forgetting people's livelihood, and constantly hypnotizing the people with "big internal propaganda". It will be labeled as "skeptical". This kind of DPP has lost the most basic requirement of becoming a ruling party - people-oriented.

Huang Jiatian said that in the face of such a failure of internal governance and disordered external relations of the Democratic Progressive Party, the KMT must send the strongest candidate to face the 2024 presidential election. Looking at all possible candidates, New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi has excellent administrative qualifications and urban governance. With complete experience, he is definitely the strongest candidate for the Kuomintang and even the non-green camp.

Luo Tingwei said that at the grassroots level, too many people have reported that Taiwanese society has had many serious internal affairs problems in recent years. The most basic need of the people is actually to live and work in peace and contentment. I believe that the whole people hope to have a down-to-earth attitude and actually improve Taiwan's internal affairs policies. A person with the power of peace and stability is the presidential candidate that today's society urgently needs.

Changhua County Councilor Cao Jiahao shared that when he visited the local grassroots recently, supporters of the blue camp felt anxious about the pending presidential candidate of the Kuomintang. He also emphasized that the Kuomintang has no time to waste on the presidential nomination, and pointed out that the result of the 2024 presidential election will have an impact on It is a critical moment for the development of Taiwan's next generation. I also believe that Mayor Hou Youyi is the best presidential candidate in 2024.

Taichung city councilors Chen Bentian and Luo Yongzhen expressed the hope that the Kuomintang can act decisively and seize the opportunity to recruit Mayor Hou Youyi and lead the Kuomintang back to power.
