TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an (台北市長蔣萬安) pledged support for actions that positively impact municipal governance, aligning with Kuomintang (KMT, 國民黨) legislators on Thursday (April 24). The mayor's statement followed a civic group announcement that the second phase of the recall process for five Taipei KMT legislators reached its threshold.
Mayor Chiang addressed the Taipei City Council's Taiwan People's Party (TPP, 民眾黨) Caucus, emphasizing his commitment to advancing municipal governance and addressing district needs. He expressed hope for fair and consistent standards from the judiciary regarding the KMT Yilan County headquarters search and urged impartiality in the investigation.
When questioned about the transition of the World Masters Games (世界壯年運動會) dragon boat race to a running event, Mayor Chiang explained that the change resulted from teams not meeting registration or team size criteria. He assured that the event would adhere to international standards.
