Did you listen to what Ke Wenzhe said! Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien is running for office. Today (4th), it is rare that three press releases were issued in one day to criticize his opponent Lai Ruilong. The blue camp emphasized that it wanted to clarify Lai Ruilong's rumors, while the green camp believed that the election situation of the Ko camp was in a hurry and began to engage in a negative campaign.

Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People’s Party, went south to Kaohsiung yesterday (3rd) and teamed up with Ko Chi-en to sweep the streets. He felt that Kaohsiung’s election was too boring. He bluntly said that “no war is fought defensively” and said, “Lai Ruilong was too good to fight.” He might as well ask Huang Guochang to be the director-general of Ko Chi-en’s campaign and talk about the controversial things.

As expected, Ke Zhien's bid did listen to Ke Wenzhe's words. Today, he went all out and issued three press releases in a row blasting his opponent Lai Ruilong. The first article was at 8:30 am. In response to Lai Ruilong's statement yesterday that "Liang Ke does not understand Kaohsiung, and the citizens only care about urban development", he criticized the ruling party's big figures for gathering in Hong Kong to "save one person". This reflects not the ruler's macro commitment to the development of southern Taiwan, but the faction. It is related to the anxiety and calculation when interests are shaken; it also named Lai Ruilong as being involved in the case of forging Chen Ju's itinerary during the tenure of former mayor Chen Ju, saying that although Lai was lucky enough to escape due to legal requirements, "the city government forged itinerary to cover up the disaster" is an ironclad fact. Can you really feel at ease after dreaming about it at midnight?

Today at 12:30 noon, Ko Chi-en's campaign issued another press release. In response to Lai Ruilong's claim that Blue and White teamed up to pass the financial planning law, "Kaohsiung lost 20 billion."

At 4:30 this afternoon, Ko Chi-en's campaign issued three press releases attacking Lai Ruilong. In response to Lai Jin's claim that the new version of the Financial Planning Law should be "changed back," Lai Ruilong was criticized for this move. When Lai Ching-te was the mayor of Tainan in the past, he repeatedly called for amending the "Financial Planning Law" to increase local financial resources. This was a reversal of history and an attempt to push Kaohsiung back to the old path of relying on others for everything and asking for subsidies based on the central government's face.

Open Questions

  • How will Lai Ruilong's team respond to Ke's camp's three consecutive bombardments?
