[Reporter Lai Xiaotong/New Taipei Report] New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi has successfully coordinated candidates for the primary election of the Kuomintang Legislators. Former Legislative President Wang Jinping said yesterday that some people used to say that he was "King Qiao", but now someone has replaced him. He is very happy. The honorific title is dedicated to Hou Youyi.

In this regard, Hou responded today, hoping that everyone will work together to face all challenges.

Hou Youyi has recently been coordinating the primary elections of the party's legislators, including persuading the dismissal of New Taipei City Councilor Liu Zhezhang to the incumbent Legislator Luo Mingcai, New Taipei City Councilor Chen Weijie to courtesy of Legislator Hong Mengkai, and the resignation of Taipei City Councilor Yu Shuhui to courtesy of Li Yanxiu. The day before yesterday, he successfully integrated Taipei City Councilor Chen Chongwen gave way to Zhang Sigang.

Before Hou Youyi's interrogation by the Municipal General Secretary today, Wang Jinping was asked to give up the title of "King Qiao" and said "Qiao" was a positive term.

Hou said that in the Shuangbei co-living circle, whether it is You Shuhui, Li Yanxiu, Zhang Sigang, or Chen Chongwen, they are all for the good of the Shuangbei life circle and play the role of active and conscientious representatives of public opinion. He is happy to see that everyone is willing to work hard for the life circle and unite together.

Do you accept the title of "King Qiao"?

Hou Youyi said, everyone works together to face all challenges, as long as the living circle is better, we will work together.
