The Changhua County Magistrate election has entered a fierce stage, and the Kuomintang is undergoing integration work.
The Changhua County Magistrate election has entered a fever pitch, and the much-anticipated blue camp integration drama finally made key progress today (14th)! Changhua County Mayor Wang Huimei appeared in the rain in the evening at the inaugural meeting of the Hemei Support Association held by Kuomintang County Governor candidate Wei Pingzheng and Hemei Town Mayor Lin Gengren. This was also the first time that she and Wei Pingzheng were on the same stage publicly. As soon as Wang Huimei appeared on the stage, she generously showed the "No. 2" hand gesture that symbolized Wei Pingzheng's number, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the supporters. Unexpectedly, she did not mention the three words "Wei Pingzheng" in her speech, and she left the stage without presenting mascots such as cabbage. The flash mob shocked the entire audience and sparked heated discussions.
After days of coordination by senior party officials, Wang Huimei officially appeared at the campaign venue tonight. Not only did she interact with Wei Pingzheng offstage, but she also raised the "No. 2" gesture on stage in support, boosting the morale of the blue camp.
When assisting in the speech, Wang Huimei emotionally expressed her gratitude to the villagers for their love and care over the past ten years. Although it was raining at the scene, everyone stood up regardless of the weather. This is because "the storm breeds confidence." She then detailed the social welfare and local construction achievements during her term, and mapped out a future blueprint for North Changhua. She called on voters to support "candidates for county magistrate who can continue her policy direction", so that all the generals nominated by the Kuomintang will be elected.
However, just as the atmosphere was boiling, a subtle episode occurred. Wang Huimei did not mention the word "Wei Pingzheng" in her speech for about several minutes. What is even more surprising is that as soon as the speech was over, the organizers had prepared mascots such as "caitou", which symbolized good fortune, and were going to ask her to present it to Wei Pingzheng in person. However, Wang Huimei turned around and stepped off the stage before the ceremony could proceed. She waved to the media and hurriedly got in the car and left, leaving stunned supporters and the outside world with various speculations about whether the dispute between the two parties had been resolved.
Faced with Wang Huimei's quick exit without giving the mascot, Wei Pingzheng was busy calming his cheeks when interviewed afterwards. He said that tonight was the establishment of a joint support meeting with Hemei Town Mayor Lin Gengren. The county mayor not only made the No. 2 gesture, but also clearly stated his support for all candidates nominated by the Kuomintang, including him. Wei Pingzheng emphasized that only he can continue and complete the county mayor’s future policy plan. He is very grateful to the county mayor for his blessing. He will go all out to win the election and lead Changhua to continue to move forward.
