As for the New Party, which was dispirited by intra-party wrangling, Lai Lai-kun's vote total of 45,000 was a two-thirds drop from the nearly 120,000 votes for NP candidates in Taoyuan in the last Legislative Yuan elections. The party did not even reach the minimum vote total for public financing for the campaign. This result should be a wakeup call for the NP.
至於新黨，由於內訌，元氣大傷，賴來焜的得票數四萬五千多票，比當年立委選舉囊括眷村近十二萬票跌了近三分之二，連競選經費補助的標準都達不到，相信這個結果，會給此刻烏煙瘴氣的新黨一記當頭棒喝。
