The article reported on the KMT’s internal discussions on candidates for the 2028 presidential election, but many leaders within the party emphasized that the priority at this stage is the upcoming nine-in-one election. The caucus canceled Friday's caucus meeting and instead held a press conference with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan to build momentum, mainly for the "Safety Parade" on November 14 and the Legislative Yuan government and opposition negotiations.
KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen accepted an exclusive interview yesterday and was asked whether she was one of the ideal presidential candidates in 2028? Zheng Liwen laughed and said that everyone likes to bring problems to her, "Maybe it's because I have been so successful as chairman!" Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, said in an interview today that the Kuomintang is full of talents and there are many candidates named as possible candidates for the 2028 presidential election. But the most important thing at this stage is the nine-in-one election on the 28th. Only after 2026 can we talk about 2028.
Xu Yuzhen said that there are only 17 days left before the election. He hopes that everyone will support the KMT candidates so that all KMT candidates can be elected with high votes.
Legislator Niu Xuting, who is also the spokesperson of the Kuomintang, said that right now, we are concentrating on the election. Things not directly related to the election will disrupt the rhythm of the election. The same method as Xu Yuzhen said, everyone assists in the selection. Each battlefield has different needs, and everyone actively assists in the selection. In the end, who will choose 2028 is not decided by any king, but the common decision of the people. I believe in the judgment and wisdom of the people.
Kuomintang legislator Huang Jianhao said that his response was the same. There are only 10 days left before 1128. The most important thing for all party members at this stage is to make good selections for the local elections. After the election, they will think about the next step for the KMT's future candidates. That will be a better time.
In addition, the Kuomintang caucus canceled Friday's caucus meeting and instead held a press conference with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan to build momentum. In this regard, Xu Yuzhen explained that it is mainly for the "Safety Parade" on November 14, calling on people across the country to participate together. For the sake of themselves and for Taipei to be better and safer, everyone is welcome to stand together.
Xu Yuzhen said that the cancellation of the caucus meeting at 9 a.m. was because the ruling and opposition parties reached a consensus last week and decided that Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu would hold consultations on the amendments to the National Pension Act and the Gender Equality Work Act at 9 a.m. Since the consultation time coincided with the caucus meeting, the caucus meeting was canceled, and the national forum was also canceled that day. Therefore, the cancellation of the party caucus has nothing to do with Mayor Jiang Wanan's attendance at the Legislative Yuan. It is mainly to cooperate with the president in convening negotiations between the government and the opposition.
