Why It Matters

KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen went to Taichung City to assist in the election of party candidates, calling on voters in Beitun District to pool their votes to achieve a seat home run.

Font size

KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen attended the Huang Fuxing Party cadres meeting held at the campaign headquarters of KMT parliamentary candidate Hsu Yu-chan in Beitun District, Taichung City this afternoon. She called on party members to pool their votes and vote for KMT-nominated parliamentary candidates instead of splitting their votes because the KMT does not have that many votes. Beitun District’s four seats, Shen Youlian, Lai Shunren, Wu Zongxue, and Hsu Yu-chan, must hit home runs.

Since the People's Party nominated Qiu Yushan to run for city council in Beitun District, Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yan once said that Taichung is a demonstration area for Blue and White cooperation. Cheng Lai-wen's statement asking party members to "not split votes" was also questioned and Lu Hsiu-yan's views were different.

Zheng Liwen said that Xu Yuxuan joined the Kuomintang when it was in its most difficult period, saying that he had ideas and ideals. Beitun is a place where the Blue Army is very strong, but it is not easy to choose newcomers. Although Beitun has added one seat this time, the Kuomintang decided to nominate only four seats after discussion, just to ensure that all four seats will pass.

Zheng Liwen said that everyone really should not be careless. She has been running around Taichung these days. Originally, the whole Taiwan said that Taichung is the safest and Jiang Qichen was definitely elected. Why did she come to Taichung these days? Because the election is getting closer and closer, and the scores between the two sides are getting closer and closer.

Zheng Liwen asked, can conservative nominations be elected to 4 seats? She went to Dali earlier to support the election of Kuomintang Taichung City Party Committee Chairman Su Boxing. Because Dali and Wufeng are greener than blue and are He Xinchun's strongholds, Su Boxing is now on the edge of being elected. If the Party Committee Chairman is not elected, he will be embarrassed to see others.

Zheng Liwen pointed out that the 4 conservatively nominated seats in Beitun District are not guaranteed to be elected. The votes must be well matched and the 4 seats must be passed with a home run. Don't think that the KMT has too many votes here and should give them to others. 4 seats are just right.
