The Taipei mayoral election at the end of the year is fiercely competitive, involving cooperation between the blue and white camps and the movement of centrist voters.
The "Ocean Current" and "Encore" battles in Taipei's mayoral election at the end of the year continue to heat up. The latest poll by TV station on the 8th pointed out that the green camp candidate Shen Boyang continued to chase the current mayor Chiang Wanan with 49% support with 41% support. Among them, more than half of the voters who voted for Huang Shanshan in the previous term turned to the former, causing concern. In this regard, the People's Caucus stated that there were many pre-election polls with different methods, and they respected the results no matter what, but called on Chiang to return to the election and use his political achievements and policies to win over the middle voters.
The People's Party caucus held a press conference today (13th) on "The government blatantly defrauded the rights of the military and police and delayed votes." The caucus chief Chen Qinglong, deputy chief congressman Chen Zhaozi, secretary-general Hong Yuxiang, as well as legislators Xu Zhongxin, Cai Chunci, Wang Anxiang and Liu Shubin attended. After the meeting, he accepted joint interviews with the media on current affairs.
The media asked that the Kuomintang and the People's Party were targeting "Blue and White" in the local elections at the end of this year. However, the latest TVBS poll pointed out that among the voters who voted for former Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan four years ago, 53% switched to Shen Boyang, higher than 39% of Chiang Wanan. They asked the party group what they thought of the characteristics of the supporters of the Bai camp, and why those who switched to Shen Boyang did not support Chiang Wanan? Is this part related to the limited cooperation adopted by the Blue Camp in Taipei City and prohibiting Jiang Wanan from standing in for Baiying’s chick?
Legislator Xu Zhongxin said that Huang Shanshan ran for the election without party membership, so she would naturally attract some votes from people who had no party affiliation and were unwilling to vote for the DPP. Even if this poll is correct, it cannot fully represent the "blue-white" relationship in this year's election.
In this regard, the party group secretary-general and legislator Hong Yuxiang said that there are quite a lot of pre-election polls, and the methods, samples, and statistical analysis opinions are also different. Therefore, the final results and interpretations are respected by the party group. However, public opinion is like water. As far as the Taipei mayoral election is concerned, "we still "I think Mayor Chiang should work hard to win over the middle voters." He should clearly explain his political achievements and future policies to the citizens of Taipei, so that they can understand the direction the capital will take in the future. He emphasized that "the voters of Taipei City are wise," and doing so is responsible.
