Former People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe made predictions and suggestions regarding the election situation. KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen responded to this and criticized the DPP in a political commentary program.
Former People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe said recently that if the DPP defeats New Taipei, KMT Chairman Cheng Li-wen will step down; if the KMT wins Kaohsiung, DPP Chairman Lai Qingde will probably be replaced. Ko Wenzhe also criticized "the blue camp's campaign is too dull" and suggested that KMT Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhi'en should find People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang as the campaign director-general. In this regard, Zheng Liwen emphasized in an exclusive interview with host Huang Guangqin on the "CNEWS Convergence News Network" political live broadcast program "Come to Hui at Noon" today (5th), "Ke Wenzhe always speaks very quickly, but neither of these two situations will happen."
Zheng Liwen said that whether Kaohsiung wins or not, it will not affect Lai Qingde; as for the cold election situation, she also believes that the Blue Camp should not be accustomed to Buddhists fighting elections. There are only two months left before the polling day, and they should use all their firepower against the DPP. In this election campaign, the Democratic Progressive Party sent out judicial intervention in Yilan and Changhua, which also immobilized Yilan County Mayor Lin Zhimiao and her entire family. The Legislative Yuan includes legislators Gao Jin Sumei and Chen Xuesheng, as well as district chiefs and township mayors. The DPP controls the judiciary to arrest them whenever they want, and to say that you bribe votes is vote bribery.
Zheng Liwen criticized that now, as long as the inspector wants to be promoted and Lai Qingde wants to see his "efforts", he will arrest the Kuomintang. Who wouldn’t be afraid when voters face unfair and asymmetric elections and have their water meters checked at any time? This is the reason why the election situation is cold; the current battle is to fight against the DPP's full use of the country's judiciary, otherwise there will be no democracy in Taiwan in the future.
In addition, after the Zhubei blue-white alliance broke up, the outside world paid attention to whether it would spill over to other counties and cities. Zheng Liwen said that whether it is People’s Party supporters or Xiaocao, what their real movements are is actually very complicated. It is not considered to be a spillover effect from Zhubei. The Party Central Committee is conducting internal polls.
Zheng Liwen said that the original intention of blue-white cooperation is not to let the DPP enjoy the benefits of the free fishermen. It is the basic consideration to hope that Zhubei and Hsinchu will win the election. In the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the People's Party, many details need to be handled with wisdom and tacit understanding. Blue and White also have a lot of policy cooperation in the Legislative Yuan, and may even form a coalition cabinet in the future. Cooperation has many levels, and the bills proposed are not fully supportive of each other or tied together. The two parties have their own autonomy. "I hope the candidates can communicate things well through tacit understanding and wisdom, and create an atmosphere of unity between Blue and White in the opposition."

They also emphasized that the Legislative Yuan must not make proposals to increase government spending.

Well-known host Tsai Kang-yong recently appeared at the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters inauguration meeting, triggering criticism from public opinion and Chinese netizens.
