It is understood that discussions on the Taipei Mayor candidate are still ongoing. Xu Guoyong stated during the meeting that all the potential candidates under consideration are exceptionally capable, and assured that the DPP would field someone even stronger than himself for the Taipei mayoral race. As for Hsinchu County, the initially favored candidate, Zheng Chaofang, mayor of Zhubei City, is still contemplating his decision.
