Liu Jianguo lost to Zhang Lishan in the last county magistrate election. Zhangjia County is the niece of Zhang Lishan, the current county magistrate.
Four people are running for the next term of Yunlin County Magistrate, and the election of Liu Jianguo from the DPP and Zhang Jiajun from the Kuomintang is in a stalemate. Liu Jianguo once again puts on his jersey. Whether he can eliminate the problem of "mountains and seas are unified but not united" this term depends on whether his leadership ability can break through after four years of hard work. Whether Zhangjia County can continue the reputation of his aunt and county magistrate Zhang Lishan and get rid of the burden of the "Zhang family" depends on establishing his personal characteristics and winning the support of central voters. The fifth wave of the election is worth watching.
Liu Jianguo started out as a grassroots citizen representative and has solid political experience. He has been running Shanxiang 9 townships for many years and is highly recognized for fighting for local funds from the central government. In the current county magistrate election, because he was not familiar with Haixian 11 townships, he lost to Zhang Lishan who was seeking re-election, and ultimately lost by more than 50,000 votes.
Actively "integrating mountains and seas", Liu has been diligently running across the sea for four years, trying to fill the political territory, but he is accustomed to doing things in a low-key manner. Unlike the Blue Army, which has a complete organization and mobilization, he shouldered the important task of integrating the Green Army. Through living room meetings, local briefings and performance presentations, he proved that he can become the new communist leader and shake off the shadow of the previous term's "integration without unity". Only then can he regain the lost ground in eight years.
Zhangjia County, which is regarded as following Zhang Lishan's model to become the Bailihou, has a high satisfaction with the administration of the aunt, and the pan-blue camp is in place to support it, which has become its biggest advantage. However, she is still stuck in the "Zhang family" despite being a hard worker in the local government. There is even a popular saying that "the elder brother is done by the younger sister, and the aunt is done by the niece," which is the key to overcome.
Zhangjiajun has been putting forward political opinions since March this year, trying to establish a personal policy brand and governance blueprint. This election campaign must not only continue the blue sky, but also let voters see "Zhangjiajun". Whether he can break through the blue-green base and win over the middle voters will be the key to victory or defeat.
In addition, there are also lawyer Wu Binghui and dentist Lin Jiayu running in this election. They are both running as independent parties. Although they have regular supporters, they still need to make breakthroughs.
