Why It Matters
As voting for the nine-in-one election enters the final 16 days, the Democratic Progressive Party has launched the "Ocean Current" cross-district vote-calling card, hoping to use Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's loud voice to ignite votes for candidates from all over the country. Lai Qingde, who also serves as party chairman, asked the party's public office and auxiliary election teams at the central committee meeting not to predict the outcome or number of seats, and to be cautious and fearful.
The voting for the nine-in-one election has entered the final 16 days, and the Democratic Progressive Party has launched the "Ocean Current" cross-district vote-calling card, hoping to use Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's loud voice to ignite votes for candidates from all over the country. It is understood that the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party will hold a press conference at Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters tomorrow, gathering 14 county and mayor candidates and Shen to jointly call on those who are studying and working in other places to return to their hometowns to vote.
President Lai Qingde, who is also the party chairman, asked the party's public office and auxiliary election teams at the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China yesterday not to predict the outcome or number of seats, and to be cautious and fearful. Taking Taipei City as an example, he pointed out that even Shen Boyang admits that he is still lagging behind and catching up. If the party predicts seats in a high-profile manner, it may stimulate voters from different camps. Lai also reminded that recent polls show that the voting rate of voters in the blue camp seems to be low, and there may be a phenomenon of self-folding. "Don't take a poll win as a real win."
Use Shen’s loud voice to urge votes for candidates from all over the country
Observations within the party indicate that in addition to gathering the green camp base, Taiwanese factions and recall volunteers, "Ocean Current" also attracts some young adults and middle-of-the-road voters. After Shen Boyang's candidacy, he combined municipal discourse, street questions and answers, and community interaction; supporters made their own posters, support streamers, and crew ID cards, creating a bottom-up independent support model that was different from traditional organizational mobilization, and even formed a participatory atmosphere with community culture and collective identity.
Party insiders explain that about half of the registered crew members of the "Ocean Current" are from other counties and cities. Although these supporters may not be able to vote for Shen Boyang, they may become an important force for the DPP to stimulate cross-district elections, and the popularity will successfully spread beyond Taipei.
Shen and Su Qiaohui went south to support He Xinchun on the 20th
The Democratic Progressive Party has stepped up its land and air campaign simultaneously. In addition to considering the two countries as the top priority, the party has also stepped up its firepower in the Central and Taiwan auxiliary elections. Shen Boyang and New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui will join forces with the "Ocean Currents and Wisdom Gathering" to plan a joint campaign during the golden week before the election. The two are expected to go to Taichung on the 20th to support He Xinchun. Shen will also seize the time to go to Keelung, Hsinchu, Taoyuan and other places to support the campaign and strive to expand the spillover effect.
The Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party will also launch a video on returning to hometowns to urge votes, and the Youth Department has proposed a "Going Back to Vote" project to continue the momentum of the "Youth Come to Support" volunteer group that has organized more than 30 activities; counties and cities continue to use motorcades to sweep streets, large-scale campaigns and grassroots organizations to urge votes, and coordinate with social activities.
Faced with the blue camp's frequent focus on the "three sons" combination, the DPP coordinated the election support schedules of Lai Qingde, Vice President Xiao Meiqin, former President Tsai Ing-wen, and Chief Executive Officer Zhuo Rongtai, etc., flexibly arranged according to the characteristics of each constituency and the needs of the candidates, and mobilized the enthusiasm of supporters through cross-election. Election auxiliaries pointed out that they hope to maintain the sense of participation of supporters through key figures in the party and the "ocean current", and combined with the policy demands of local candidates and organized vote-calling, the enthusiasm originally concentrated in Taipei can be transformed into an increase in voting rates in various counties and cities.
