The polls are getting closer, and the program interview mentions last year’s general recall. Jiang: I have never felt that voters are so irrational.

The Taipei mayoral election has entered its 49th day of voting. When Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan was asked yesterday about his close support for his rival, Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang, he mentioned that the atmosphere of the general recall last year was that society was completely torn apart. "I have never felt that voters in Taiwan, or even Taipei, could become so irrational." He was questioned as "reviewing voters." When Chiang attended the event in the afternoon, he quickly explained that he must remain humble in front of public opinion and that he would never question the judgment of voters.

Jiang Wanan accepted an exclusive interview with senior media person Tang Xianglong in the morning. When talking about the close support between him and Shen Boyang, he said that the election campaign has entered a fierce stage and supporters are returning to the team.

Pointing to social divisions, worries may become the norm in Taiwan’s elections

Jiang changed the subject and mentioned that he assisted five legislators in Bei City to fight against the recall during last year's general recall, which made him feel a strong atmosphere of social opposition. Whether he accompanied the legislators to sweep the streets or sat on a chariot to press for votes, the people were very polarized; some people would rush over from a distance and shout, "CCP passers-by" with strong ideologies, but there were also supporters who came and said, "I have been praying and cheering for you." The atmosphere at that time was that the society was completely torn. He said that since the election of legislators ten years ago, "I have never felt that voters in Taiwan, or even Taipei, would become so irrational." At that time, he also thought that if he was fighting for re-election this year, the hatred and opposition in society might continue, and he worried that "it would become the norm in Taiwan's elections."

Review voters? Chiang: We must be humble before public opinion

Chiang Wanan's statement caused a backlash from the outside world, questioning Chiang's "review of voters." When he attended an event in the afternoon, he explained that the people's voice is the most important, and everyone must remain humble in the face of public opinion. He must respect all poll data and view the election situation with caution and fear, emphasizing that he will never question the judgment of voters. He believes in Taiwan and the people.
