Jiang Wanan fights for small straw tickets! The ban on white camps on platforms has been loosened, and the city party headquarters said frankly: the overall situation is the most important thing

The People's Party will hold a "Super Saturday" campaign on the evening of the 21st. Party founder Ko Wenzhe will also attend. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan confirmed today (5th) that he is "very happy to participate", which means that he will win votes from the grassroots. Previously, Dai Xiqin, chairman of the Taipei City Party Committee of the Kuomintang, had asked Chiang Wanan to avoid standing up for Congressman Bai Ying individually. Now Chiang not only frequently "passes by" the campaign headquarters of Congressman Bai Ying. In this regard, Dai Xiqin's attitude became more flexible. He admitted that as the election situation becomes tense, everyone can understand and will make an assessment based on the "overall situation." However, he also admitted that in multiple elections, the overlap of blue and white votes will inevitably have a linkage effect, and emphasized that the biggest goal now is to successfully re-elect Jiang Wanan.

Dai Xiqin said that the basic framework of Blue and White cooperation has not changed, but as the election situation changes and enters the final intense stage, how to win the election, whether it is the re-election of the mayor or maximizing the number of Blue and White council members, requires gathering the greatest consensus.

Dai Xiqin relayed that KMT members were concerned about Chiang Wanan’s principles for standing for Congressman Bai Ying in the future and whether he would merge with Bai Ying. After Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan took over as the chairperson of Chiang Wanan’s campaign headquarters, she went to the Taipei City Council to meet with the KMT and People’s Party groups and nominees. During the face-to-face communication, Lu Xiuyan emphasized at the time that no matter how Blue and White cooperated, whether they were combined or on the same stage, in principle the KMT members would still dominate, and she hoped that members of the Blue camp would feel at ease. As for the method of cooperation, she still hoped that "brothers climb mountains and work together" to maximize each other's seats.

Regarding Jiang Wanan's recent visits to the campaign headquarters of the People's Party parliamentary candidates Xu Fu and Wu Yixuan to cheer up, will it trigger a backlash from the Blue Camp Chicks? Dai Xiqin said frankly that as the election situation becomes tight, everyone can understand that whether the hen lifts the chick, or the chick stabilizes the basic market and turns around to lift the hen, they are complementary and have two sides. The most important thing is to allow Jiang Wanan to be re-elected smoothly and to maximize the number of seats for the Kuomintang. He also hopes that all candidates for the six seats of the Kuomintang will be elected.

However, Dai Xiqin also admitted that although Blue and White hope to work hard and win seats separately, in multiple-seat elections, if the vote sources overlap, it is inevitable that they will have interlocking effects on each other. He emphasized that with the common goal of re-electing Chiang Wanan, the Kuomintang will keep its seat, and the cooperation between blue and white will focus on the overall situation. After face-to-face communication, the current KMT members and newcomers also reached a consensus.
