Taiwan's Executive Yuan Secretary-General Zhang Dunhan visited the People's Party faction on the morning of the 23rd, accompanied by seven nominees. Regarding the controversial issue of non-resident voting, Zhang Dunhan stated that the Central Election Commission sent a letter to 22 county and city election commissions on November 17 last year, seeking written opinions on issues such as non-resident voting. Today, they also brought a report compiling the opinions of the 22 county and city election commissions for reference by the People's Party faction.
Zhang Dunhan mentioned that at least 20 "legislators" who are running for county and city mayor positions have already been nominated, including Huang Guochang and Zhang Qikai of the People's Party. He sincerely called on both the ruling and opposition parties to handle the future personnel approval review, ensuring the smooth passage of the Central Election Commission's personnel approval, safeguarding the candidates' rights and the rights of all voters in the island, and hoping that the upcoming "nine-in-one" elections can proceed on time, with quality, smoothly, and successfully.
Huang Guochang said that the People's Party faction has always maintained the position of swiftly reviewing the nominees after their nomination, and the "Internal Affairs Committee" will arrange the review next week. He also earnestly requested all nominees to return the questionnaires issued by the People's Party faction as soon as possible. Furthermore, the entire process of the Legislative Yuan's review will be open and transparent, and the members of the People's Party will consult with everyone on the content they have answered, which will help them in making their final voting decisions.
Huang Guochang mentioned that the People's Party's "legislators" will undergo partial personnel changes on February 1st, but the records left behind from this round of committee reviews will directly determine the intention of the committee members in casting their votes for personnel approval.
At the end of the meeting, Zhang Dunhan also presented the relevant reports on non-resident voting to Huang Guochang. He humorously remarked that this was really a report and assured Huang Guochang, the group leader, that it was not a confidential document and could be taken out for viewing. After receiving the report, Huang Guochang immediately handed the documents to his assistant and showed an awkward smile, without even looking at Zhang Dunhan beside him.
