KMT invited Jiang Qicheng and Yang Qiongying today at noon to coordinate the selection of the mayoral candidate for Taichung. After two hours of negotiation, no consensus was reached. Jiang Qicheng said in an interview today that he fully expressed the concerns of local grassroots members who are anxious about the current lack of determination regarding the KMT's mayoral candidate in Taichung, and he expects the KMT to quickly finalize the candidate. He also mentioned that Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan recently said she hopes the candidate will be determined by the end of January, and he expressed his support for this.
After the meeting, Yang Qiongying said in a phone interview that she was very grateful for the KMT's coordination today and that they had ample exchange of views. However, there was no consensus on the primary mechanism. She insisted on fairness, openness, and transparency, which is a basic respect for the citizens and party members. To avoid affecting the unity of the KMT, she is willing to further communicate and seek the maximum consensus.
