The People's Party caucus held a press conference titled "Stone Department Deception: It's Easy to Become an Official Under Lai's Administration" this morning and opened the floor for media questions. Reporters asked whether former spokesperson Yang Baozhen of the People's Party might exit the party by late May to run for office, and whether she has continued seeking permission from the Taichung City Party Committee to register or be nominated. What is the response from the Taichung City Party Committee regarding her potential departure?

Chen Qinglong, General Coordinator of the People's Party caucus, stated that both the party headquarters and local branches naturally welcome party members who are interested in serving in public offices. However, there exists an internal nomination procedure for public office elections. Any party member wishing to participate in elections must first contact their local party branch to express their intention to run. The local party branch will then process the application according to the established procedures for public office nominations.

In addition, Zhang Tong, spokesperson for the Taiwan People's Party, responded that the party's nomination rules for public office elections are comprehensive and fully transparent. All party members, whether newcomers or incumbents re-registering, are required to follow the party's established procedures.
