The New Taipei City mayoral election is one of the important local elections in the Republic of China. Historically, the Kuomintang has been in power for a long time, but in recent years, the Democratic Progressive Party's support in the region has gradually increased. In this election, the Democratic Progressive Party nominated Su Qiaohui and the Kuomintang nominated Li Sichuan. The two polls alternately took the lead, showing that the election is fierce.
New Taipei City Mayoral Candidate Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party held a campaign headquarters inauguration meeting in Banqiao today (5th). President Lai Qingde and former President Tsai Ing-wen were both present at the platform. In this regard, senior media person Akio Yaita pointed out that Su Qiaohui, who was originally considered to be backward, has already broken New Taipei into five or five waves. If the "ocean currents gather" trend continues to expand, the situation in the two norths of 1128 may really be different from today's situation.
Akio Yaita posted on Facebook that New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui held a campaign headquarters inauguration meeting in Banqiao this afternoon. He had received an invitation but was unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. Although it was raining, a large number of supporters poured into the venue. Tsai Ing-wen, Lai Qingde, Chen Qimai and others all came to the platform, and the momentum was quite strong.

Yaita Akio pointed out that it is worth noting that in the recent poll released by the People's Association, Su Qiaohui 35.2% and Li Sichuan 34.7%. Although other polls show that Li Sichuan is leading, what is certain is that Su Qiaohui, who was originally considered to be lagging behind, has beaten New Taipei to five or five waves.
Akio Yaita pointed out again that there are three reasons for the reversal. First, an atmosphere of "replacement, let's see" is forming. The Kuomintang has been in power in New Taipei for a long time, and Hou Youyi's image is not bad. However, the changes in New Taipei in recent years have not satisfied all citizens. There have also been many problems such as transportation, urban renewal, and living environment. All kinds of dissatisfaction can easily gradually turn into the mood of "should it be time to change?"
Akio Yaita believes that Su Qiaohui just represents another image: youth, vitality, and a new generation, which makes people look forward to the future. In comparison, although Li Sichuan has rich administrative experience, he feels more old-fashioned than Hou Youyi and does not have the image of a reformer.
Akio Yaita analyzed that secondly, Li Sichuan's own aura was being consumed. Recently, Li Sichuan's real estate and property declaration issues have been questioned, leaving people with the impression that "the relationship with the builder is not clear." His explanation has not completely eliminated the doubts from the outside world. More importantly, so far in the election campaign, he has not put forward a policy that will make New Taipei City citizens brighten their eyes and remember it.
Akio Yaita said that thirdly, it is the "united Democratic Progressive Party" versus the "internally conflicted Kuomintang." Today, people from all walks of life in the DPP came together to support Su Qiaohui, which is a very clear picture. There are also various conflicts within the DPP, but they can work together on important issues.
Akio Yaita said that in comparison, the opposition within the Kuomintang is more prominent. Li Sichuan is not in the same frame as Chairman Cheng Liwen, and maintains a certain distance from Mayor Hou Youyi. In addition, the Kuomintang continues to boycott and conflict in the Legislative Yuan, giving many voters the impression that it "just wants the government to be unable to do anything and hinder the country's development." If this image continues, it will certainly reduce points in local elections.
Yaita Akio said that Su Qiaohui's recent rise is not only due to her personal charm, but also the result of the simultaneous convergence of several forces. In Taipei next door, an "ocean current" supporting Shen Boyang is also forming. If the trend of "gathering of ocean currents" continues to expand, the situation in the double north of 1128 may really be different from today.
