Ke Zhien is a candidate for mayor of Kaohsiung of the Kuomintang. He received support from former party chairman Zhu Lilun many times when he ran for election in 2022. Recently, he teamed up with People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe to sweep the streets, but avoided sharing the stage with the current party chairman Cheng Liwen, which caused internal doubts.
Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ko Chi-en merged with the People's Party founding chairman Ko Wenzhe this morning (3rd) and accompanied the People's Party city councilor candidate Lin Yukai to sweep the streets. City councilor Zhang Boyang questioned Ko Zhi-en's "escaping before Zheng" and combined with Ko Wenzhe of another party. However, there is no hope of merging with the KMT chairman Cheng Li-wen. The two have not been on the same stage for more than 120 days.
Zhang Boyang pointed out that Ke Zhien was recently asked about Cheng Lai-wen's platform issues in an exclusive interview with "Han Ni Chat after Work", and said that cross-strait issues do not need to be intensified in the end of the year election. The party chairman is welcome to attend events such as Party Day and National Day, but local auxiliary elections will invite county and city heads of the same camp to stand.

Zhang Boyang said that as soon as Ko Chi-en finished speaking, he not only jointly swept the streets with Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People’s Party, but Ko Wenzhe also proposed Huang Guochang in front of the media to serve as Ko Chi-en’s campaign director-general, and Ko Chi-en responded enthusiastically. "Other party chairmen who are not as powerful as before came to the platform one after another, but the KMT's own union with Chairman Zheng, who is on the same stage as Xi Jinping, is far away. Is this a kind of "escape from Zheng"?"
Zhang Boyang read the information and said that when Ke Zhien ran for election in 2022, Party Chairman Zhu Lilun took the stage to support him from the Fengshan swearing-in meeting in September, attended the Fengshan District District Chiefs' Forum in early October, and organized a walking event at the end of October. In early November, the Kuomintang Central Committee specially moved to Kaohsiung to hold a "conventional meeting for victory in action" to support Ke Zhien's election. Finally, on November 20, the golden week before the election, Zhu Lilun once again appeared in front of thousands of people to strongly canvass votes for Ke Zhien.
Zhang Boyang pointed out that the last time Ke and Zheng were on the same stage for the Kaohsiung mayoral election was on May 31, and the two had not shared the same stage for more than 120 days. At that time, Ke Zhien also emphasized that it was "natural and reasonable" for the party chairman to come to the local area to cheer for party members and believed it had a positive meaning. Comparing the various evasive responses now, with the constant reply of "respecting each other's time schedule and campaign rhythm", it is obvious that Ke Zhien also knows the red line of the Party Central Committee. The local governments will not pay for it at all, but she has no courage to confront the central government.
Zhang Boyang questioned, if Ke Zhien only wanted to merge with Zhu Lilun and didn't want to share the stage with Cheng Liwen, why didn't he dare to say it out loud? Many Kaohsiung citizens voted to recall Han Kuo-yu in 2020 because they could not accept his pro-China background; now, the KMT, under the leadership of Cheng Lai-wen, has intensified its efforts to move closer to the CCP. Ke Zhien has avoided talking about the Party Central Committee's line for more than a year since he ran for election. He basically intends to "deceive first and then talk about it." He calls on citizens to recognize the political fraud of the KMT, which has two different views.
