Yen Kuan-heng Registers to Run for By-election 台中第2選區立委補選 顏寬恒今登記參選

KMT selected candidate Yen Kuan-heng went alone on Nov. 18 to register formally for the Taichung by-election.

Former legislator Yen Kuan-heng came alone to Taichung City Election Committee to collect his registration form and paid his deposit to formally register as a KMT candidate for the by-election in Taichung City's second constituency. Yen said this is his first time registering alone and the beginning of a new task. He will start campaigning in the local area and coastal residents are his biggest supporters.

Yen Kuan-heng, KMT By-election Candidate, Taichung 2nd Electoral Dist.: “I face the whole party, the ruling party, a large organization that oppresses me. For all the villagers in the coastal areas and Tun districts blame and criticize me, my team and I rely on the same folks in the coastal areas and Tun districts. ”

Yen expressed respect for the doubts and criticisms raised by the radio personality Clara Chou but he will take necessary legal actions if it involves rumor spreading and smearing. DPP candidate Lin Ching-yi also held a press conference on anti-bribery elections on the 18th. She said that coastal residents hope for a change to old, entrenched political factions.

Lin Ching-yi, DPP By-election Candidate, Taichung 2nd Electoral Dist.: “Voters in District 2 know more and more that the democratic system gives everyone a voice. Each person can fully discern what he or she wants to vote for and what kind of a candidate and values they want for the future. They also know a lot about the old political structures but they look forward to new changes in this place (Secondary District). ”

Lin believes that what citizens want is a clean election and that the Yen family's power and factions have lost their influence on the local area. This election should not be affected by gambling. Kindergarten principal Lin Chin-lien, who was the first to announce his candidacy, could not be reached before the registration deadline. 

 

台中第二選區的立委補選，前立委顏寬恆今天上午，去登記參選，成做國民黨補選的參選人。這改參選，受外界質疑，他表示、除了尊重，嘛不排除欲透過法律、維護清白。至於民進黨的參選人--林靜儀是表示，面對舊勢力，他講聽到很多海線的鄉親、向望有新的改變。

來到台中市選委會，前立委顏寬恒獨自完成領表，也繳了保證金完成登記程序，正式成為國民黨台中市第二選區的補選參選人。顏寬恒表示，第一次親自完成登記，是新任務的開始，將從在地出發，而海線鄉親就是他最大的靠山。

台中市第二選區立委補選國民黨參選人顏寬恒表示: 「面對整個政黨，執政黨，一個大軍壓境，對於海線、屯區，所有鄉親指責，以及對於我個人批評，我能倚靠的，以及我們的團隊，就是我們海線、屯區所有的鄉親。」

至於媒體人周玉蔻提出的質疑和批評，顏寬恒表示尊重，但如果涉及造謠抹黑，也會採取必要的法律行動。而民進黨的參選人林靜儀18號也舉行反賄選記者會，他表示，對於舊的地方勢力，海線鄉親都希望改變。

台中市第二選區立委補選民進黨參選人林靜儀表示:「台中第二選區的選民越來越清楚知道，民主制度賦予大家就是能夠充分辨別，他想要投給怎樣的候選人，選擇未來怎樣的價值，他們也知道，很多舊的結構跟舊的勢力，但他們更期待新的改變，在這個地方(中二選區)。」

林靜儀認為，鄉親要的是乾淨的選舉，也表示顏家的勢力和派系，已經失去對地方的影響力，這次的選舉也不該受到賭盤影響。至於最早宣布參選的黎明幼兒園園長林金連，中午截稿前無法取得聯繫。
