KMT Taichung mayor poll: Jiang Qichen leads He Xinchun by 12.6 percentage points

The Kuomintang's Taichung City Council caucus released the latest poll of Taichung mayor, with Jiang Qichen leading He Xinchun by 12.6 percentage points. Lin Deyu, spokesman for He Xinchun's campaign headquarters, said that He Xinchun will continue to increase support at his own pace.

The KMT’s Taichung City Council caucus announced today that it has commissioned the Media Polling Center to conduct the first public poll since the registration of Taichung’s mayor. In terms of mayoral support, the Kuomintang’s Jiang Qichen has 45.1% and He Xinchun 32.5%, with Jiang Qichen leading He Xinchun by 12.6 percentage points. Lin Deyu, spokesman for He Xinchun's campaign headquarters, said that although this poll has institutional effects, it will still respect the reference; he criticized Mayor Lu Xiuyan for using all official resources to support the election and taking Jiang Qichen with her on official and official trips. Although this is an asymmetric and unfair election campaign, He Xinchun will continue to increase support at his own pace.

Taichung City Councilor Lin Deyu, spokesman for He Xinchun's campaign headquarters, said that although this poll has institutional effects, it will still respect the reference. However, in order to help select his designated successor, the current Mayor Lu Xiuyan exhausted all municipal resources and took Jiang Qichen with him on all official trips. Jiang Qichen attended the official trips as a quasi-mayor. In this way, using official resources and official trips to increase Jiang Qichen's personal exposure, it is no wonder that there is a gap in the polls. This is not surprising.

Lin Deyu said that He Xinchun's poll numbers have continued to rise steadily over the past 10 months. Based on various polls, the support of both parties has fluctuated between the prefix 3 and the prefix 4. The gap is very small. Of course, as the election campaign heats up, the number of opinions will increase, and He Xinchun will continue to increase his support at his own pace.

Lin Deyu pointed out that facing the "Lu-Jiang combination" of Lu Xiuyan and Jiang Qichen, using all public service resources to assist the election is an asymmetrical and even unfair election campaign. Jiang Qichen is like an invisible candidate. Jiang Qichen, who only listens to his mother, the mayor, and follows Lu Xiuyan's path, is taking advantage of Lu Xiuyan's political capital. But now Lu Xiuyan only wants to be elected president, and she is no longer the seemingly moderate and neutral image she once was. Whether the voters in the middle will pay the bill is still very variable, and it is just a burden to Jiang Qichen.
