(Reporter Zhou Hongyu/Comprehensive Report) Chiayi City Council’s new city councilor was sworn in on the 25th, but the election of the chairman and deputy chairman was disrupted due to the unexpected fall of the speaker Zhuang Fengan who was seeking re-election. At present, the most likely to qualify is the former speaker Lin Chengxun’s wife Chen Ziyu and Li Zhongli. This combination has an intersection with Mayor Huang Minhui, but the key is the 6 votes of the DPP. Xiao Jiaban, who has been in power in the Chiayi City Council for 25 years, has no chance to show his strength once more.
There are 23 councilors in Jiashi. This time, the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party each won 6 seats, Times Power 1 seat, and non-party members 10 seats. The Kuomintang has always adopted an open and free choice for members to vote, but the DPP lost the nine-in-one election. It is reported that the central government will send members to a meeting on the 24th to “group in and out” to build a consensus of unity. Rumor has it that Su Zefeng, who has no party affiliation, is paired with Cai Kunrui, and former speaker Lin Chengxun’s wife, Chen Zikui, is paired with Li Zhongli.
The chairman of the Chiayi City Council was elected by the Kuomintang for the first two terms. In the third and fourth terms, Xiao Dengwang, a non-party member (the eldest brother of Xiao Jiaban, died of myocardial infarction during his tenure as the chairman, at the age of 55) was elected. In the fifth term, there was no Cai Jiawen, a member of the party, was elected as the speaker (Cai Jiawen is close to the Xiao family class), and Cai Guisi (the wife of Xiao Dengshi, the second eldest of the three brothers of the Xiao family) was elected as the speaker of the 6th and 7th sessions. Therefore, Xiao Jiaban controlled the initial five Chiayi City Councils and became the main political force in the area.
In the 8th session of the Speaker, Lin Chengxun, a non-party member, formed an alliance with the blue and green councilors, and defeated Cai Guisi, the “Xiao family class” who was fighting for re-election by one vote, and was elected as the speaker. In the bribery case, Lin Chengxun served as the speaker for 3 years and was sentenced to prison for the bribery case. The speaker was elected by Cai Guisi. The 9th member Chen Ziyu and Dave Lin Chengxun went out to be elected members.
Xiao Shuli was elected as the speaker of the 9th session of the city council from the Kuomintang (she is a member of the Xiao family), and later quit the Kuomintang in order to run for the mayor of Chiayi City. Xiao Jiaban has been in control of the city’s speaker for 25 years, until the pro-green non-party Zhuang Feng’an was elected as the speaker this term. The non-party speaker Zhuang Fengan and the deputy speaker Su Zefeng originally planned to seek re-election as the chairman and deputy speaker, but because Zhuang Fengan divided the votes to support other members of the assembly, they unexpectedly made themselves “losers”. In addition, in the current (10th) parliamentary election, many soldiers from the Xiao family group failed to be elected, and the Xiao family group’s influence in the parliament is weak.
The next Chiayi City 11th Councilor Election is highly competitive, with 6 rookies emerging, including DPP Lin Weixuan, Huang Minxiu, the power of the times Wang Hao, KMT Guo Dingwei (son of former deputy speaker Guo Mingbin), independent Cai Kunrui (son of current councilor Cai Rongfeng) , the color launched by the Internet celebrity “Small Merchant” does not distinguish between blue and green, and the color of the support area is Tian Shenjie.
In addition, the non-party councilors Zhuang Fengan, Su Zefeng, Dai Ning, Sun Guanzhi, Li Yide, and Huang Siting jointly formed the “Jiasu Advance Non-Party Alliance”. Zhang Xiuhua of the Kuomintang won the highest vote in the city this time, and some supporters persuaded her to join. However, she is in the Kuomintang parliamentary group and expressed her gratitude, but she has no intention of fighting for the post of speaker.
It is worth noting that Su Zefeng intends to go to the next level, but because Lin Chengxun has friendship with Lan, Green and some non-party members, it is understood that Lin intends to promote Chen Ziyu to run for the Speaker of the House of Representatives in order to avenge his shame. According to people familiar with the situation, Su Zeng called on Lin Chengdong and Chen Ziyu to seek cooperation.
Some sources also pointed out that Chen Ziyu originally wanted to run alongside Huang Minxiu of the Democratic Progressive Party for the chairman and deputy speaker. However, Huang Minxiu, who was the chairman of the Chiayi City Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, had a falling out with senior councilors Huang Luhui and Huang Dayou. Huang Minxiu was also elected as a new member of the party. unhappy.
It is understood that in order to avoid chaos, the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party has issued a Class A mobilization order, and will send personnel to coordinate on the 24th. In addition, Zhang Rongzang, a senior non-party member, told his friends that he wanted to vote for himself; Wang Hao, the power of the times, and Tian Shenjie, the color of the blue-green support zone, also stated that the speaker wanted to vote for himself. Therefore, the 6 votes of the Democratic Progressive Party, which “groups in and out”, will become the key votes for the chairman and deputy speaker.
