The Democratic Progressive Party has already selected Chen Chi-mai as its candidate for Kaohsiung City's mayoral by-election, while the Kuomintang won't announce its candidate until after June 24.
Former Kaohsiung City Civil Affairs Bureau Director-General Tsao Huan-jung, a member of the Han Kuo-yu camp, arrived at the Kaohsiung City Election Commission on the morning of June 18 to get the application form to run in the city's mayoral by-election. He said he didn't inform Han that he was going to run.
I meet society's expectations of being young, local and experienced, and I think city residents are willing to see the Kuomintang change and progress.
The Kuomintang is not expected to announce its candidate for the by-election until after its Central Standing Committee meeting on June 24. Kaohsiung City Councilor Li Ya-ching, who was the first person to express an interest in the nomination, was accompanied by fellow KMT Councilor Chiu Yu-hsuan and youth industry representatives as she held a press conference to announce her intent to run.
Why can't we Kaohsiung people choose a Kaohsiung born and bred person to be our mayor? Why don't you have confidence in Kaohsiung natives?
The by-election will take place in less than two months' time. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has already announced Chen Chi-mai as its candidate and there are reports that he will ask New Power Party (NPP) Councilor Huang Jie to join his team. The DPP's Kaohsiung office said the team may possibly be cross-party and cross-region, and Chen will announce the final list of names.
There are really a lot of talents within the Democratic Progressive Party and political parties in Taiwan. Many of them are young people, and city residents welcome them. The candidate will be the one to make the final announcement.
Huang issued a statement saying she does not rule out working with the DPP and that the NPP supports Chen.
身穿藍色夾克出現在高雄市選委會準備領表，身為韓國瑜陣營要角、也是高雄市前民政局長的曹桓榮，決定投入高雄市長補選，但他也說事前並未告知韓國瑜。
高雄市前民政局長 曹桓榮表示：「我符合在地年輕、有經驗的社會期待，我相信市民也願意看到，國民黨的改變跟進步。」
國民黨最快下週三決定徵召人選，最率先表態的市議員李雅靜則由同黨議員邱于軒，還有各產業界青年朋友陪同召開記者會，宣誓參選決心時還一度講到哽咽。
國民黨高雄市議員 李雅靜表示：「為什麼我們高雄人不能選擇，我們高雄真正自己高雄在地的人？當我們的市長，為什麼你們不能相信我們高雄人？」
高雄市長補選剩不到兩個月，藍營還沒決定人選，但綠營已進行選戰人事布局，陳其邁陣營傳出可能邀請時代力量的黃捷加入團隊，民進黨高雄市黨部表示，輔選團隊跨黨派、跨區域都有可能，最後名單會由陳其邁親自宣布。
民進黨高雄市黨部主委 趙天麟表示：「我們不管在民進黨內，還是在整個台灣派的跨黨派之間，人才真的很多。而且很多的年輕人才，其實都很受到市民的歡迎，應該把這個最後的宣布，留給候選人宣布。」
黃捷也發聲明回應不排除合作的可能性，也表示時代力量已決定支持陳其邁，希望讓泛本土陣營能更加團結。
