Taiwan Strait Network June 15 (Reporter Wu Shenglin of the Straits News Agency) Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu was dismissed, and the Kuomintang's situation in Kaohsiung is even more difficult. In addition, the "big names" in the blue camp are almost unable or unwilling to participate in the Kaohsiung mayor by-election. Faced with the sluggish morale within the party, the two female generals "go against the wind" and took the lead in announcing their efforts to represent the Kuomintang in Kaohsiung Mayor's by-election.

The Taiwan authorities' election department passed the voting results of the resignation case of Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu on the 12th, and set the voting date of the Kaohsiung Mayor by-election to be held on August 15th. At present, the DPP's war general is not very suspenseful about the by-election matter, and Chen Chi-mai, deputy head of the Taiwan authorities' administrative agency, is almost a foregone conclusion. The Kuomintang regards recruiting local young people in Kaohsiung as a "priority consideration", but it is still not ruled out to find candidates in other places. In addition, it is rumored that the Taiwan People's Party is also actively making arrangements.

Surprisingly, on the morning of June 13, Kaohsiung City Councilman Li Yajing from the Kuomintang held a press conference to announce her participation in the mayoral by-election. Li Yajing was born and raised in Kaohsiung. Before entering politics, she was just an ordinary office worker. She has served as a member of parliament for three terms and participated in the 2020 "Legislator" election and received more than 80,000 votes in support. She said that the Kuomintang is currently in a downturn. As the Mesozoic generation, she consciously has no right to dodge and decided to assume the Kuomintang's mission to Kaohsiung citizens and strive to represent the Kuomintang in participating in the mayoral by-election. She also became the first Blue Camp to publicly express her willingness to participate in the by-election.

Following Li Yajing's announcement of her candidacy, on the same day, Zeng Yinli, the current assistant researcher at Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, also expressed her determination to wear a war robe for the Kuomintang. She said that the Kuomintang should have new faces and new discourses to have a chance to create a new situation. She hopes that through her statement of running for the election, the Kuomintang will focus on approaching public opinion, understand public opinion, and fight this by-election with empathy. Zeng Yinli served as the spokesperson for the international media of the Kuomintang Kaohsiung Mayor in 2006 and the spokesperson for Yang Qiuxing's campaign team in 2010.
