The breakdown of the Blue-White alliance in the Zhubei mayoral election has triggered high concern among opposition party supporters. On the 31st, former legislator Guo Zhengliang stated on the program 'Big News, Big Explosion' that the split in Hsinchu is primarily Hsu Hsin-ying's fault—the KMT candidate for Hsinchu County magistrate and legislative member—asserting that the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) genuinely helped Hsu during her campaign.

Guo mentioned that during Hsu's intense primary race, negotiations with the TPP had already taken place. Now, strong dissatisfaction within the TPP claims Hsu has broken her promise. Whether this sentiment spreads to other counties and cities depends on future statements by other KMT legislators and party chair Jennifer Wang. This is why Wang has recently avoided public comments. Most KMT legislators still remember the TPP's support during the recall campaigns and have continued to campaign for TPP candidates. At the very least, the KMT must maintain this effort to prevent the Zhubei fallout from affecting other regions.

Guo stated that whether other counties are impacted depends on whether their candidates repeat the same mistakes. For example, on the 30th, former TPP chair Ko Wen-je and current chair Huang Kuo-chang both went to Taichung to support KMT mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen.

Guo emphasized that Hsu Hsin-ying bears the greatest responsibility for this breakdown. The TPP truly helped her, and now claiming to 'consider the bigger picture' only angers the TPP further. When linked to the TPP's past support for the KMT during the mass recall efforts, this goes beyond mere 'lack of credibility.' Reconciliation is no longer expected. Guo urged Hsu to 'take personal responsibility for her actions' and win through her own efforts.
