DPP Secretary-General Lin Xiyao As for the unfinished nomination of county mayor candidates, he stated that it has not been set that it must be completed before the National Congress on July 17. Lin's statement is that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The outside world believes that the DPP is waiting for Chen Shizhong, the epidemic command center, to choose the best time to nominate Chen for the mayor of Taipei. However, the mayor of New Taipei Hou Youyi has never stated his intention to seek re-election. A few days ago, he even blurted out that this is the last year of his term. Therefore, besides waiting for Chen Shizhong, the DPP may also be waiting for Hou Youyi to make a formal statement.
According to a Hong Kong China Review website report, the Democratic Progressive Party has completed the nomination of 12 counties and cities, leaving 10 counties and cities. In the past, most of the nominations were completed before the National Congress in the election year, and the National Congress was used to build momentum. However, the epidemic is severe this year. Tsai Ing-wen and her family hope to nominate Chen Shih-chung, the commander of the epidemic, to run for mayor of Taipei. The epidemic has not completely cooled down yet. The DPP is still evaluating when the nomination is most appropriate. The nomination is completed before the general meeting.
The candidates from Taipei City and New Taipei City attract the most attention from the DPP this time, which will affect the overall election situation. Although Chen Shizhong was diagnosed and the quarantine period has expired, he said that he was still positive in the rapid test and did not attend the epidemic press conference. Do you want to allow more time for other members of the epidemic command center to play their role, and the Tsai authorities also took the opportunity to find a suitable commander? It is also reported that people close to Chen Shizhong revealed that the DPP has a great chance to recruit Chen Shizhong to run for Taipei next Wednesday.
In the face of Lin Jialong, the leader of the "Regional National Assembly", actively fighting for the election of Taipei mayor, today he will explain with party member Jiang Zhiming how to improve the traffic problems in the Ganghu area. Lin has a lot of actions, not only the candidate for Taipei mayor and "legislator" Jiang Wan'an nominated by the Chinese Kuomintang, must face the response to these policies. People from the Democratic Progressive Party who supported Chen Shizhong's election should also be very anxious, worried that Lin Jialong will control the election rhythm in Taipei City.
But apart from Chen Shizhong, there is also New Taipei City that has not yet determined the candidate. At present, it is believed that the DPP tends to nominate the British "legislator" Luo Zhizheng to face the current New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi. But Hou has yet to let go of whether he wants to be re-elected. Even when he was on the same stage with Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe a few days ago, he did not deny that this year is the last year of Mayor Ke’s tenure, and it is also the last year of his term. The outside world interprets that Hou may not seek re-election and wants to go straight to 2024.
If Hou Youyi does not seek re-election, the layout of the DPP in New Taipei City may be different. Would the Soviet faction be willing to support the British faction Luo Zhizheng? If Hou does not seek re-election, who will the KMT nominate in New Taipei City? If the current deputy mayor runs for the election, the visibility and popularity are not high, and the candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party may not have no chance of winning. By then, the Soviet and British factions will cooperate? Or the Soviet Union also wants to send their own people to run for the election, which is why the "Executive President" Su Zhenchang and Su Qiaohui are unwilling to say that they support Luo Zhizheng. They only say that the candidates named on the stage are excellent and respect the election. Conscripted with Tsai Ing-wen.
The DPP has not made a final decision on the layout of the Shuangbei. In addition to Chen Shizhong's burden of the epidemic, he may also want to wait until Hou Youyi makes his final statement. Waiting for Hou's statement to be elected or not to be re-elected may affect the DPP's final New Taipei mayor Nominees.
According to the analysis of Hong Kong Zhongping.com, Enen, a 2-year-old boy in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City, died of the epidemic due to delay in sending him to the hospital. The case expresses guilt and promises to review and reflect. It is worth noting that Hou Youyi's posture has slowed down and turned into a mourner. Is it possible to give up re-election and use retreat as an advance to attack 2024?
Hou Youyi has yet to formally express his stance to seek re-election as mayor of New Taipei City. Whenever there are similar issues, he emphasizes that he should do his best, and talk about him. Is it possible for Hou Youyi to abandon the mayor of New Taipei City and go straight to 2024? Lin Xiyao, secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party, said as early as April that the DPP has all kinds of possibilities in mind. Hou Youyi is unwilling to answer seriously, frankly and directly whether to run for re-election. There must be reasons for this, otherwise there is no good procrastinating? Just speak plainly. Lin Xiyao also said that Hou Youyi's refusal to answer directly up to now must be due to other plans in his mind, which naturally tends to lead to speculation, and such speculation is not unreasonable.
The Democratic Progressive Party claims to be the most electoral party.The question of whether Hou Youyi will let go of 2022 has also been discussed within the Blue Camp. The internal opinion of the Blue Camp also believes that this possibility exists, but everything depends on the dynamic development. If you have to express your position At the last juncture of whether to be re-elected, if the current overall political environment is not conducive to Hou Youyi's abandonment of the election, then Hou Youyi should not make this decision, but if the situation is the opposite, it will be interesting how things will go.
However, in fact, if Hou Youyi gives up his re-election and goes straight to 2024, of course there are advantages and disadvantages. From a positive point of view, if he gives up his re-election earlier, then he will not have to worry about how to explain to the citizens if he is successfully elected as the mayor of New Taipei City and then moves to 2024. Otherwise, the mayor's job cannot be fulfilled, and he may harm Hou Youyi if he eats inside and looks outside the bowl.
From a negative point of view, if Hou Youyi gives up his re-election as mayor of New Taipei City, even if he has not announced that he will run for 2024, it is equivalent to indirectly stating that he wants to take the big position. As the saying goes, the stick beats the first bird, and the Kuomintang is a party that is particularly good at infighting. Even if the DPP does not attack Hou at that time, the internal disputes in the Kuomintang itself will probably make Hou Youyi very troubled. (Xue Yang/Editor)
