According to Taiwan media reports, Su Mengjie, the daughter of "legislator" , Su Zhenqing, who was expelled from the Democratic Progressive Party and the current representative of the Democratic Progressive Party and the county party committee executive member, tried to recruit district and county councilors for the second election but failed. This morning (25th), accompanied by nearly 100 supporters, went to the county party committee to protest and expressed dissatisfaction, emphasizing that they could run to the end of the election.
Pingtung County Councilors’ second election district should be elected 8 seats, and 2 seats are women’s guaranteed places. The current Democratic Progressive Party’s county council members have 3 seats, non-party 3 seats, and 2 seats are the Kuomintang. The Democratic Progressive Party nominated 4 male candidates at the end of the year, and the Kuomintang nominated 3 seats, of which 2 are female.
Su Mengjie went to the Pingtung County Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party on the 15th of this month and asked the county party committee to recruit district and county councillors to run for the second election to avoid the women's guaranteed quota being taken away by the Kuomintang. On August 23, the Executive Committee held a meeting on this. Most of the executive committees still advocated upholding the original resolution, which was the resolution on July 27, with the nomination list set and no longer being processed. It aroused dissatisfaction between Su Mengjie and her supporters.
Su Mengjie and her supporters went to the county party department to protest this morning. She said that the DPP does not have a female candidate in the second constituency. She is willing to stand up for the sake of the party and will definitely be able to fight for a woman to protect the number of seats. She stood up for the sake of the party. Is she wrong? Why does the Party Committee need to escort specific people to this extent?
Su Mengjie also said that she will definitely run to the end. After the election, she will see how the Party Committee will handle it later. Cai Gongtai, CEO of Su Zhenqing Service Office, also said that she hopes that the Party Committee will be recruited at present. Since the Party Committee does not recruit, of course she will run for the election as an independent person. "But Meng Jie's heart will always belong to the DPP." After she is successfully elected, she will definitely take her post back to the DPP.
In response to this, Ye Renkui, CEO of the Pingtung County Party Committee of the DPP, said that in response to the nomination of the five-in-one election in the county by the end of the year, the county party committee will handle the deadline and regulations approved by the Executive Committee. Everything is open and transparent, and all party members should abide by the rules of the game.
