Font size

The election campaign has entered a critical countdown. When KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen went to Taichung Taiping to assist party candidates in the election today, she said that in the face of the current cold election situation, supporters must maintain a high degree of crisis awareness and never give up going out to vote just because they think the election situation is promising. She called on supporters to mobilize their entire families to return home to vote on November 28 and not to be careless and affect the election situation.

Zheng Li-wen said that she had gone to Taiping many times to support elections in the past and had a deep friendship with local folks. This time, everyone is very confident in the Taichung mayoral election. "We have no reason to lose." But the more so, the more we cannot take it lightly. She observed that the current election atmosphere is relatively deserted. She believes that the DPP takes advantage of its power to control national resources and even launches inspections, which makes supporters have concerns. The KMT does not know how to conduct elections. She bluntly said that this is an unfair election battle.

She said that turnout is the key to winning the election. Don't think that Jiang Qichen is "stable" and don't bother to go out to vote. In addition, councilors and district chiefs also need supporters to support them. She also appeals to Taichung folks who are studying, working or traveling in other places to book their tickets in advance and return home to vote on November 28, so that every vote can count.

Cheng Lai-man also recommended Taiping District Kuomintang nominated councilors Lai Yiqun and Huang Jiatian, saying that they have been deeply involved in the local area for many years and have been recognized for their services. They are a combination of professionalism and vitality. They used their creativity in the election numbers 6 and 4, jokingly saying that "6 plus 4 is just perfect" and appealed to voters for their support.

In the end, Cheng Lai-wen also urged votes for the referendum on restarting nuclear power. She criticized the government for promoting the development of AI and high-tech industries, but did not have a solution to stabilize the power supply. She bluntly said that "no electricity is a lie." People in central China should not be allowed to continue to "use their lungs to generate electricity" and endure smog and air pollution. She called on supporters to vote "yes" in the referendum to preserve Central Taiwan and ensure the future development of the industry.
