Shen Boyang sweeps the streets at Caopu Market in Songshan District to solicit votes and launches a carpet campaign targeting older voters

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang visited the Caopu Market in Songshan District this morning (4th) to sweep the streets and collect votes. A visual inspection at the scene showed that about 80% of the people were in the "prime generation" over the age of 50, but their enthusiasm was not inferior to that of young supporters. With older voters lagging behind Chiang Wanan in support, Shen Boyang chose to go deep into the traditional blue camp and launch a carpet-based "land war."

A poll recently released by media person Dai Li'an showed that the gap between Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan was only 1.3 percentage points, and the election between the two was in a tug of war; however, from the age cross analysis, Shen Boyang's support among people over 50 years old is still significantly behind Jiang Wanan. Faced with the relative lack of support from older voters, Shen Boyang chose to go deep into the Caopu Market in Songshan District early on Sunday morning to win the support of voters with a "carpet-style" street sweep.

This afternoon is the inauguration meeting of Shen Boyang's campaign headquarters. In the morning, he also has a trip to stand for the city council candidate Lin Ziyang of the same party. Shen Boyang still started sweeping the streets at 8 a.m. on Sunday to solicit votes. Shen Boyang even went deep into all the branches and alleys of the market, visiting almost every stall and store. As long as the stallholders waved to them, he would personally go to them to shake hands and vote.

The supporters of "Ocean Current" still showed their enthusiasm. The market was lined with supporters who lined the streets to take photos and give high-fives to Shen Boyang. The street sweeping trip lasted about one and a half hours without stopping.

Facing the tug of war in the polls, Shen Boyang, a former supplementary education teacher, targeted the relatively vulnerable older voters to "replenish" the votes, went straight to the traditional blue-camp vote warehouses, and went deep into the grassroots by sweeping the streets in the market. An almost "Li Changbo"-style land war was used to try to strengthen the votes of the elderly.
