The chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) Taipei City Committee, Dai Xieqin, said on the 25th that the city committee meeting tomorrow will formally confirm the nomination seats in six constituencies. A party discipline committee meeting will also be held, to clarify and handle relevant issues for KMT members involved in judicial cases or party discipline problems. If any member has violated party discipline, they will basically not be able to run as a KMT candidate. Currently, sitting councilors Yen Hsiao-wei and Chen Chong-wen are both involved in cases, which will affect whether the two can continue to run.
Dai Xieqin stated that the KMT Taipei City Committee will hold a committee meeting tomorrow to formally decide on the nomination seats in six districts. It seems that many districts will have primary elections, including Shilin, Beitou, Neihu, Nangang, Songshan, Xinyi, and Zhongzheng, Wanhua. Unless there is a case of equal numbers, there should be primary elections in most districts. For the Songshan and Xinbei areas, it is expected to nominate five seats, with two vacancies currently. Many new people are actively trying to run, and it is certain that a primary election will be held.
Dai Xieqin said that regarding the Daan and Wenshan districts, since there are already eight sitting councilors, if new candidates want to run, coordination may be needed, to decide whether to use a primary election or an internal public opinion survey. The same applies to Zhongzheng and Wanhua. In addition, if any KMT members are involved in judicial cases or party discipline issues, the party discipline committee meeting will be held in the afternoon tomorrow, where the relevant individuals will be asked to explain. If they have violated party discipline, they will not be able to run under the KMT's name.
