China News Service, July 11. According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" report, the Democratic Progressive Party's Election Countermeasures Committee (hereinafter referred to as the election meeting) unanimously recommended on July 10 that Chen Shizhong, the head of the health and welfare department of the Taiwan authorities, and the former responsible for the transportation department be recruited. Ren Lin Jialong went to the mayor of Taipei and the mayor of New Taipei respectively, and submitted them to the Central Executive Committee of the DPP on July 13 for the call for nominations.
According to British sources, Chen Shizhong plans to find "Legislator" Wu Siyao as the director-general of the campaign, Zhang Maonan, chairman of the Taipei City Party Department, as the executive director-general, and invite Chen Jianren, the former deputy leader of Taiwan, to serve as the chairman.
In addition, Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai, Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe, Chiayi County Mayor Weng Zhangliang and other seven county mayors with party membership held a press conference on the 10th to jointly recommend Lin Jialong to run for mayor of New Taipei.

In this regard, people familiar with the matter said that Chen Shizhong is still the head of the health and welfare department and an administrative officer with a public position, and Lin Jialong is the former head of the transportation department. Therefore, the mayors of the seven counties believed that the administrative system should be respected, so they did not give special support. Chen Shizhong.
Taiwan administrative agency spokesman Luo Bingcheng said in the evening that after the DPP completes the nomination process and Chen Shizhong submits his resignation, he will announce the successor in a timely manner to ensure that the work of the health and welfare department can be seamlessly integrated.
