KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-man has concluded her two-week visit to the United States. Cheng Lai-wen previously pointed out that as the election gradually enters a heated period, the Party Central Committee will be more actively involved in local auxiliary elections. However, there is an atmosphere in both blue and green that "they do not expect the party chairman to assist in the election." On the contrary, other celebrities in the party are more expected by the candidates to stand up.
Lai Yiren, former deputy spokesperson of the Kuomintang and candidate for Taipei City (Shilin, Beitou) city council, pointed out that during the election of county and city chiefs, it is a tradition within the party that the KMT chairman conducts auxiliary elections across Taiwan, but the chairman generally assists in the selection of "candidates for county and city chiefs." "As new chicks, we will do whatever the hen arranges."
Lai Yiren and other candidates for Taipei City Council, today (20th) joined forces with the Kuomintang hen and Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan for a promotional photo shoot. Lai Yiren took out the "Entrusted Yi with Important Tasks" small square scarf and gave it to Jiang Wanan, and asked Jiang to hang it on his waist. Lai Yiren said that during the election campaign, it is very hot in summer and it is easy to sweat. Repeated wiping of toilet paper is prone to white flakes and is not environmentally friendly. Not only can the small square towel be reused, it can also be used to wipe sweat and hands.
Lai Yiren believes that Jiang Wanan will definitely be the strongest hen in Taipei City in this year-end election. There is no doubt about this. The DPP’s artillery fire will also be aimed at Jiang Wanan. As a newcomer and a member of the True Blue Youth Army, he will definitely give back to the Green Camp twice as much.
Lai Yiren said that it is a tradition within the party for the KMT chairman to assist in the election of county and city chiefs throughout Taiwan. However, the chairman generally assists in the selection of "candidates for county and city chiefs" and rarely helps county and city councilor candidates alone. Because there are so many county and city councilor candidates, there may be a problem of favoritism for one or two alone.
Lai Yiren said, "As newcomers, we will do whatever the hens arrange," and walked with the large group. Besides, there are many hens in the party, and he also hopes that Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu can cheer for the Taipei team together.
