DPP Nominates Shen Po-yang for Taipei Mayor, Wu Yi-nong Congratulates and Pledges Full Support

(Central News Agency reporter Yeh Su-ping, Taipei 13th) The Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) election strategy committee today recommended nominating Legislator Shen Po-yang as its candidate for the Taipei mayoral election, and the DPP's Central Executive Committee will formally approve the nomination this afternoon. Wu Yi-nong, founder of the 'Khuann-khoat Taiwan Alliance,' who had previously expressed interest in seeking the DPP's nomination for the Taipei mayoral election, said he congratulates Shen Po-yang on being nominated today to run for Taipei mayor, and "I will fully support and assist in the upcoming six-month election campaign."

Wu Yi-nong issued a statement today saying that his active participation in seeking the nomination last year was based on his ideals for the capital's security, education, and urban development. He called for open primaries because, like the economic sector, fair competition can inject different ideas, promote the exchange of opinions, and bring more nourishment and vitality to politics, thereby expanding social support.

Wu Yi-nong said that in the future, he will uphold the same beliefs and continue to work for Taiwan through politics, and will also deeply cultivate local areas to strive for national security.

He said that politics does not have to be a zero-sum game where one side wins and the other loses, nor should it tear people apart. Commentators are always accustomed to dividing the country into different colored territories; but in fact, everyone is ultimately part of the same group, sharing a common name: "citizens who love this homeland and yearn for a safe future."

Wu Yi-nong said that at this critical moment heading towards 2027, he will continue to build a front that prioritizes national interests in the fields of "civil defense" and "resilient society."

Wu Yi-nong stated that domestically, he and the 'Khuann-khoat Taiwan Alliance' team have initiated cooperation with over 700 organizations, including churches, schools, social welfare groups, and enterprises, forming a response network from Taipei to Pingtung. They actively empower local "support teams" of volunteers, so that partners willing to contribute to their homeland not only possess more professional skills but are also more organized and can be effectively dispatched, becoming a stronger backing for more people.

Wu Yi-nong said that internationally, he will continue to participate in international conferences and accept media interviews to speak for Taiwan, and through cross-national cooperation, increase Taiwan's visibility and accumulate external allies.

He said that the grandeur and vitality of a nation require everyone's concern and participation; the safety and freedom of the homeland require the joint protection of all citizens. Let people from different places, with different histories, and holding different ideas, unite as one, with Taiwan in their hearts. (Editor: Yang Lan-hsuan) 1150513
