Why It Matters
The Changhua County Magistrate election has entered the final stage. The Kuomintang Party Chairman Zheng Liwen has served as the chairman of candidate Wei Pingzheng's campaign headquarters and has formed a high-level advisory group to enhance the campaign's strength.
On the 12th, Kuomintang Party Chairman Zheng Liwen took over the task of chairing the campaign headquarters of Wei Pingzheng, a candidate for Changhua County Governor. At the same time, she brought in the highest-level county government advisory group, almost all of which are "cabinet-level". However, local people in the blue camp believe that the first requirement of the advisory group is to be "down-to-earth". They don't know how to help Changhua. The most important and most realistic thing is, in the last 40 days of the election, can it bring votes?
Zheng Liwen said that because Changhua County is so important, she personally recruited her as the head coach to sit in Changhua. The high standard of Wei Pingzheng's "county advisory group" has surpassed that of the mayors of the six cities. Experts and scholars who created Taiwan's economic miracle and built a sacred mountain to protect the country, as well as top technocrats, all serve as Wei Pingzheng's strongest backing.
Therefore, the head of Wei Pingzheng’s county government advisory group is former executive president Chen Chong, with the deputy head being former minister Li Hongyuan, the convener of agricultural economics being former Chairman of the Council of Agriculture Lin Xiangneng, the convener of public health being former minister Yang Zhiliang, the convener of national health being former director Qiu Shuti, the convener of science and technology and economy being former secretary-general Xue Xiangchuan, the convener of transportation being former deputy minister Chen Shiwei, the convener of education policy planning being former director Wu Rongfeng, and many professors. The general convener of the policy white paper is New Taipei City Deputy Mayor Liu Heran.
However, local people believe that Zheng Liwen will succeed Wei Pingzheng as the chairman of the general election and the coach himself. Because the polling day is getting closer, the party chairman will take over the difficult task and stabilize the morale of the military. But launching an extremely high-standard advisory group that claims to be at the national political level, with more than half of its members having served as cabinet ministers, is this really the advisory group that local governments need?
Local people pointed out that there are many top technocrats in the cabinet-level advisory group, but Wei Pingzheng got off to a slow start because he was recruited too late. The advisory group's first job should be to be Wei Pingzheng's avatar, so that they can seize the time to introduce Wei Pingzheng and explain his political views, because, To run in an election is to win the election. Only a "down-to-earth" advisory group can help canvass votes. However, a "minister-level" advisory group is too far away from voters, and its effectiveness in canvassing is highly questionable. Everyone wants to ask, can a super-high-profile advisory group bring votes?
