On the 17th, New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi was recruited by the Kuomintang to run for the 2024 presidential election. It is understood that Hou’s right-hand man, New Taipei City Vice Mayor Xie Zhengda, will resign to participate in the auxiliary election. In addition, Hou Youyi will run for election with a post, most likely to ask for leave in October to avoid the requirement that the resignation of the mayor must complete the by-election within 3 months, and may follow the model of Zhu Lilun in 2015, taking 3 months of leave and donating salary .
The 2024 presidential election is determined to be contested by the DPP Chairman Lai Qingde, New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi, and People’s Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe. Guo Taiming originally actively sought the nomination of the Kuomintang, but in the end he also chose to unite, expressing his support for the candidate proposed by the Kuomintang through a post on Facebook.
According to “China Times News Network”, according to the “Local System Law”, if the mayor of a municipality directly under the Central Government resigns, he will be represented by the Executive Yuan. At that time, the Hou City Hall may be picked by the acting mayor appointed by the central government. Therefore, Hou Youyi may follow the example of Zhu Lilun. In October 2015, he took a leave of absence of 3 months to run for the presidency, and announced that he would donate a total of 600,000 yuan of salary for 3 months to the city government to clear up his doubts. However, Hou Youyi has not yet confirmed or responded to this. The first deputy mayor, Xie Zhengda, will first resign to assist in the election. During Hou Youyi’s leave, he will be represented by deputy mayor Liu Heran. One of the most popular candidates for the future mayor of New Taipei City.
Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Qiqiang, who won more than one million votes for Hou Youyi in the nine-in-one general election in 2022, will also focus on air combat in the future because of his experience in election campaigns. In addition to Xie Zhengda and Zhang Qiqiang, Wu Zongxian, director of the Legal Affairs Bureau of New Taipei City, Qian Nianqun, a former youth bureau chief who was born in the second generation of a dependent village, and Li Lizhen, a city government consultant, are also expected to join Hou’s auxiliary selection team.
