To compete for the Kuomintang (KMT) nomination for mayor of Taichung, "Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Yuan" Jiang Qichen and "Legislator" Yang Qiongying have been continuously visiting the grassroots. However, according to the current schedule of the KMT headquarters, the public opinion poll competition will not take place until late March. KMT Vice Chairman Li Qianlong suggested that since the selection of the mayor of New Taipei City was smoothly resolved under Hou Youyi's coordination, Taichung could take New Taipei as a model. In response, Yang Qiongying said that Lu Xiuyan has always been very concerned about party affairs, but aren't the rules already set?
Additionally, Hung Hsiu-ching and Jiang Qichen jointly distributed lucky bags at the Fenyuan Tzu Chi Temple in Taichung on the 18th. As for whether this would boost Jiang Qichen's campaign, Hung Hsiu-ching stated that this trip was purely to greet the local residents and wish them a happy new year, without any political associations. Nevertheless, he still praised Jiang Qichen, saying that his long-term efforts in the region and his performance in the Taichung legislative body have been widely recognized.
