In Kaohsiung County Dist. 1, DPP may nominate outsider

Since nobody in the DPP wants to run in Kaohsiung Dist. 1 since it's considered a KMT stronghold, the DPP has said they won't rule out findin some outsider to run, just so that the KMT has some trouble.

This would be a good candidate district to run an unsatisfied KMT member who doesn't get nominated to run for a legislative seat. We'll have to see if the DPP can actually find anyone who would present a real challenge, though.

民進黨立委黨內提名初選將在本月12到16日受理登記，由於第1選區因至今無人表態參選，市黨部主委張志銘6日表示，黨中央已決定全區提名，將不 排除徵召提名特定人士參選，以免讓泛藍輕騎過關；至於2、3、4選區都有兩人以上辦理登記，張如經協調不成，該三個選區都要辦理初選，含黨員投票及民調。 另第5選區目前僅現任立委郭玟成表態尋求連任。
