Former city mayor Huang Ta-chou and former KMT chair Wu Po-hsiung were in attendance to witness the event.

At the ceremony, Hau expressed his expectations of how Taipei City will develop and the bellweathering roles the five city districts will play in the near future.

Hau says that Taipei City must be rejuvenated; city districts must be renovated, sceneries must be revolutionized, and in order to encourage youths to stay in Taiwan, there will be a four-year plan to expand residential complexes.

DPP election rival Su Tseng-chang is also pushing forth a political agenda of constructing a green boulevard.

At the ceremony, 62 administrative members were sworn in and several discussions took place at the city council, causing a busy scene.

Afterwards, the city coucil elected the new council speaker and vice speaker.

KMT contenders, Wu Bi-chu and Chen Jin-xiang faced off against Li Jian-chang and Chou Bo-ya of the DPP.

As the blue and green camps hold 30 versus 23 seats, respectively, the election will likely be in favor of the blue.
