年底嘉義市長選舉有5人登記參選,大勢仍是民進黨王美惠與藍白共推的民眾黨張啓楷雌雄對決。王美惠訴求「最在地最骨力」,又有嘉市黨公職團結氣勢做後盾,被視為帶領綠營收復「民主聖地」最強母雞;張啓楷強打現任市長「黃敏惠牌」訴求接棒延續幸福嘉市,藍白合要開花結果,考驗合作深度能否落地。
這場選戰開局就耐人尋味,國民黨黃敏惠隔屆執政17年,在《遠見》雜誌調查,創下任內4度獲五星縣市首長榮耀紀錄,當要交棒時,嘉市卻成了藍營情勢艱困選區。
張啓楷嘉縣人,長年在外打拚,前兩年擔任不分區立委重新與嘉市連結,經藍白民調出線,對決從議員助理、議員、立委一路深耕地方20幾年的王美惠,在重視「看得到人,找得到人」的市民眼中,王張之爭初始,張在支持度與看好度上處於劣勢。
6月選戰中期,張啓楷啟動藍白合政黨合作,掛上與黃敏惠合照競選看板,黃表態全力支持張,國民黨市黨部舉辦百場「客廳會」,張攜手藍營議員參選人並肩作戰。
面對藍白合作深度能否落地隱憂,國民黨主席鄭麗文坦言「嘉市選情有問題」,民眾黨主席黃國昌則信心喊話「藍白合作愉快,堅不可摧」,張陣營評估選情如「倒吃甘蔗」,已拉近與王美惠差距,全力搶攻年輕族群選票。
王美惠「認真打拚」形象,人氣居高不墜,死忠支持者以45歲以上中老年選民為大宗,擔任立委以來為嘉市爭取逾10億元建設經費,承諾當選後要做全民市長。
選舉開打以來,面對對手拋出民進黨「嘉義輕軌建設跳票」等議題,王團隊見招拆招,「彈性應戰」策略,不讓對手有可趁之機;選戰進入最後階段,王陣營公布競選組織成員涵蓋中央、地方及各界代表,展現跨世代、跨領域的高度團結拚勝選。
有地方人士提出一項另類觀察指出,嘉市選情動態,從坊間地下賭盤也可見端倪,流傳賭盤不看好張啓楷選情,王美惠仍讓票張啓楷2萬5千票以上,究竟這是賭盤操弄選舉?或是反映民意脈動?成了市民茶餘飯後話題。
