People's Party Taichung City Beitun District Councilor Candidate Qiu Yushan defeated Wu Huangsheng with 74% of the party's primary vote and was nominated by the party. She said that Chen Qinglong, the chairman of the People's Party, asked to withdraw from the election because of lagging behind in the polls and giving young people a chance. If she did not withdraw, she would report to the Election Committee to recruit Wu Huangsheng for another seat in accordance with the rules. She expressed injustice and stressed that she would persist in running to the end and would definitely come back to win.
Qiu Yushan said that Chen Qinglong used an unpublished poll as evidence yesterday that her support was lagging behind, but without explaining the poll data, he directly advised her to withdraw from the election. He also said that if she did not withdraw from the election, she would report it to the party election committee. According to regulations, if there are more seats in the constituency, another candidate can be recruited, and she asked her to consider it carefully.
Chen Qinglong protects Wu Huangsheng very much! Qiu Yushan said that Chen Qinglong also said that Wu Huangsheng was unaware of this coordination and would only consult Wu for his opinion before recruiting, which made her very angry. She believed that this was simply a show, that the party might have already negotiated an agreement with Wu, and that the questioning process was opaque and full of calculations.
Qiu Yushan pointed out that the People's Party would nominate two seats in Beitun District, and the votes might be scattered, and both of them might end up losing the election. Beitun District would elect 7 members, with the KMT and DPP nominating 4 people and 3 people respectively. There are also strong opponents such as Duan Tipei competing. The People's Party has no room to nominate two seats, and the strategy is unreasonable. She said that it is simply "one of your own people pulling your own people!"
Qiu Yushan said that her mother had just passed away and was still in pain. It was excessive and inhumane for the party headquarters to persuade her to withdraw from the election at this time. In fact, candidates from other political parties had already heard about the withdrawal and told her that she did not believe it yet. She believed that the People's Party had a system, integrity, sentiment and justice, but in the end she was kept in the dark.
Faced with the pressure to withdraw from the election, Qiu Yushan emphasized that the primary election and confirmed nomination should not be overturned afterwards. Many supporters and party members felt aggrieved for her. She has been a member of the party for nearly five years. She represented the people in the last election and won more than 5,000 votes. The election was not bad. This time there are still five months until the vote. She is confident of winning the election and will never withdraw from the election. She will insist on protecting the People's Party system and serving the people of Taichung.
