Hualien County Council Speaker Chang Chun has formally announced a run for magistrate.
In his announcement, the independent councilor said that he did not wish to oppose anyone in particular, rather just wanted to make Hualien better.
Chang was elected as a councilor in 2009 and has served 4 terms but was kicked out of the KMT for running for speaker.
The KMT last week nominated You Shu Zhen to replace Xu Zhen Wei, the wife of former magistrate Fu Kun Qi.
Rumors have been circulating as to if the DPP intends to let Chang run in their stead, saying last week that they would announce a candidate in Hualien this week.
Local DPP officials have said that the DPP intends to do what is right for Hualien, and not what only serves its own interests.
