Kuomintang (KMT) chair 
Cheng Li-wun and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) chair Huang Kuo-chang shared a stage in Chiayi City on September 19 to rally for Chang Chi-kai, the TPP mayoral candidate both parties jointly back. Chiayi Mayor Huang Min-hui joined them at the evening event, staged under the banner of an "opposition grand alliance" at the city's Shunxing Temple, CNA reported. KMT legislators Hsieh Lung-chieh and Yeh Yuan-chih and internet personality Chen Chih-han, known as "Guanzhang," also spoke in Chang's support.
Cheng told the crowd that "the KMT's support is for real," saying the party organisation was fully mobilised and that Huang Min-hui means to hand the mayoralty to Chang. The party had issued a mobilisation order to back Chang without reservation, she said, and its Chiayi City branch and councillors had held more than 100 "living-room meetings" with him. She praised the mayor as electorally "undefeated," saying her achievements in office had earned residents' support, and said Huang Min-hui's appearances beside Chang, whom she called "a handsome guy," at recent events showed plainly whom the mayor supports. Cheng said Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Wang Mei-hui only rides a motorbike around the city, while Chang reads, understands budgets and can plan municipal policy. The KMT-TPP alliance had chosen him through a fair mechanism, she said, and residents could safely entrust the city to him.
Huang Kuo-chang said Chang was no parachuted outsider but a Chiayi native, describing the race against Wang as a contest over vision and the city's future path. He said Chang had made no personal attacks on Wang during the campaign, had set out numerous policies along with how to carry them out, and would continue Huang Min-hui's governance, CNA reported.
