AI-generated summary
The mayoral election in Shuangbei has entered the final critical stage. Candidates from the Democratic Progressive Party and the Kuomintang are competing fiercely in Taipei City. Chiang Wanan is seeking re-election and Shen Boyang is the candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. In New Taipei City, Su Qiaohui and Li Sichuan are competing.
The Taipei mayoral election is heating up. Ruan Junda, director of the New Media Center of the Democratic Progressive Party, pointed out today that the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, Shen Boyang, continued to be slightly ahead of his opponent from the Kuomintang seeking re-election in total online voice and favorability last week. Jiang Wanan, but the worst situation for Jiang Wanan is over. Recently, the blue camp has shown crisis awareness and morale has recovered. The key to breaking the deadlock will be the crowds, volume and momentum of both sides' campaign this weekend, which may affect the direction of the election.
According to cross-platform data tracked by QSearch from November 2 to 8, Shen Boyang's total voice volume reached 1.96 million, 205, with a proportion of positive articles of 28.7%, negative 38.6%, and a negative sentiment value of 9.8%. He continues to be ahead of Jiang Wanan's 1.624208 articles, with 15.9% positive articles, 51.7% negative, and a negative sentiment value of 35.9%. New Taipei Mayor Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party also continued to lead Li Sichuan with a total voice volume of 146,000, which was 97,000, and maintained a positive sentiment value of 6.2%, while Li's sentiment value was negative 10.1%.
Ruan Junda pointed out that compared with the public outcry at the end of August when the privilege dispute and fellow legislator Weng Xiaoling's decision to cut orders for sheltered factories, the proportion of positive articles about Jiang Wanan has increased from 7 to 8% to 15.9%. Through campaigning and intensive street sweeping by his wife, it can be seen that the worst period of Jiang Wanan's reputation has passed. In the past few days, Jiang Wanan's momentum of sweeping the streets, the queues of people queuing up to hand out ribbons, and the travel of team spokespersons and supporters all show that the morale of the blue camp is not bad, the crisis awareness has been aroused, and the online community is naturally sparking.
Ruan Junda believes that the key to breaking the deadlock in the Taipei mayoral election may be this weekend. Chiang Wanan holds the "Safety Parade", Shen Boyang holds the "Ocean Current Festival" at 228 Park on Saturday, and the "Taipei Ocean Current" Shilin Beitou Bus on Sunday Sweep, the contrast in crowds, volume, and momentum may influence the direction of the election. We call on "Little Water Drops" to maintain the original intention of "Ocean Current" to be positive and warm. Don't fall into the opponent's emotional trap, and focus on recommending candidates' political opinions.
In addition, Ruan Junda reminded that at the last moment of the election campaign, some ugly false rumors and deep-fake images involving politicians’ personal sexual orientation and privacy began to appear. Wings of specific camps intensively used relevant topics to insinuate, attack, and even name names. We hope that this corrupt election style can be curbed, and we also ask everyone to stay vigilant and make rational judgments.
