CHIAYI (TVBS News) — Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu on Thursday (Dec. 7) urged veteran legislators to join forces with KMT presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih to fight for Taiwan’s future by supporting the party in the upcoming elections.
Chu emphasized the KMT’s efforts in nominating young candidates during a visit to Chiayi County.
He highlighted Chan Wan-chen’s run for the legislative seat in the county's first district, and put a spotlight on three female candidates from Chiayi nominated for the party's at-large legislative positions.
Amid a fiercely competitive race, Chan admitted to a late start in her campaign, which has her doubling down on efforts to meet and seek support from constituents.
Chu acknowledged that Chan’s nomination came later than expected but expressed confidence in her due to her deep-rooted service in Chiayi.
"The people of Chiayi will support her," Chu stated, highlighting her commitment to the region.
