there is already a smell of gunpowder over who will run for mayor of tainan in 2026, with democratic progressive party legislators lin junxian and chen tingfei actively vying for the election. kmt legislator xie longjie expressed his intention to run for the election on a program on the 15th, and emphasized that if elected, he would only serve for 4 years and complete 8 years of construction in 4 years.

xie longjie said that if he were elected as the mayor of tainan, he would still serve for 4 years, because he has been in charge of this city for too long. he once asked lai qingde, who was the mayor of tainan at the time, whether he had done any construction. as long as he said it publicly, he would resign immediately, but lai qingde did not respond.

xie longjie went on to say that after four months, the dpp nominated lai qingde for re-election in 2014. lai qingde's first political statement to the citizens of tainan was "he has been planning for the past four years, and tainan will make great progress in the next four years." xie longjie said that a city and a mayor have been planning for four years, and they all want to be re-elected. that's why he proposed that he only needs to serve for four years. he started to work after he was elected, and there is no need to let a city waste another four years. he wants to complete eight years of construction in four years, and he will definitely work day and night. xie longjie also emphasized that if you give him four years, he will make you miss 40 years.

people's party legislator zhang qikai said that most people in the people's party would support xie longjie. xie longjie is a very good talent. xie longjie is also a person who knows right from wrong and has similar ideas to him, so of course he supports him.

in early september, a polling organization on the island conducted a poll on several major candidates from the blue and green camps. in the tainan city area, it was found that xie longjie, except for temporarily lagging behind chen tingfei, had a slight lead over lin junxian or wang dingyu, which sparked heated discussions in public opinion on the island.
