The KMT Changhua County Magistrate nomination controversy has raged for more than four months. Changhua County Magistrate Wang Huimei, known as the "Undefeated Queen" and "Iron Lady" of the blue camp, "teared down" KMT Chairman Zheng Zheng on the 4th of this month in response to the Party Central Committee's nomination of lawyer Wei Pingzheng to run for Changhua County Magistrate. Li Wen triggered a bigger storm. Wei Pingzheng held the campaign headquarters inauguration meeting today (6th). Wang Huimei did not attend as expected. The media asked whether Wang Huimei was invited and whether a position was reserved for Wang Huimei. Zheng Liwen refused to respond. She made her "grand entrance" surrounded by Wei Pingzheng, Changhua Party Committee Chairman Xiao Jingtian and others. She looked very excited and graceful. She walked for nearly 20 minutes in just over 100 meters.
In response to the controversy over the Kuomintang's nomination for Changhua County Magistrate, Wang Huimei held a press conference on the 4th of this month. She burst into tears when she talked about her excitement. She emphasized that she had made suggestions and concerns to the Party Central Committee many times, but they were not fully taken seriously. "Don't put this account (of losing the election) on my head." On December 31 last year, when she was talking about the election with KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen and Secretary-General Li Qianlong, the other party took the initiative to mention Wei Pingzheng and asked if he was suitable to run? Wang Huimei said that she was not familiar with Wei Pingzheng and only suggested that the Party Central Committee make a careful evaluation. However, she later recalled that Wei Pingzheng might have been the Party Central Committee's preferred candidate from the beginning.
