Analysis of the election situation in Chiayi County: Green Camp Weng Zhangliang is re-elected, but the Kuomintang still cannot find anyone

The results of the 1218 "referendum" in Chiayi County were released. The four dissenting votes advocated by the DPP had the second highest rate of votes in Taiwan. The DPP county party department believes that the basic market has been firmly maintained, and it is a good thing for next year's nine-in-one election. The good thing is that we are optimistic about the re-election of Chiayi County Mayor Weng Zhangliang, who bluntly said that "more wins and less wins"; however, the Chinese Kuomintang believes that "referendum" and election cannot be generalized, and Blue Camp will still launch the county governor candidate to participate in the war in March next year.

According to Taiwan's "China Times" report, this year encountered an epidemic, but Weng Zhangliang and his team received high praise for their performance in epidemic prevention and governance. There are also bright spots in the polls. The three chiefs of Yun Jiajia are fighting for re-election as a major variable, but the local government believes that the political ecology of the three counties and cities is very different, and the local opposition is too loud, and in terms of the basic price, Yun Jiajia adds up to no less than blue. Considering the overall election, it is unlikely to merge and upgrade next year, and Weng Zhangliang's re-election should not be a problem.

Lin Xiuqin, chairman of the Chiayi County Party Department of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that the voter turnout in the 1218 "referendum" was only 37.98%, but the four disagreements proposed by the DPP won more than 61% of the votes, even the more controversial opposition. Laizhu also got 61.38%, which is less than 1% behind Tainan. According to the observation of the Party Department, young people did not return to their hometowns to vote enthusiastically, but the Green Camp still got a high vote rate. The representatives who came out to vote were all local voters and supporters. , "The DPP's fundamentals are very stable", corresponding to Weng Zhangliang's election next year is also stable.

Lin Xiuqin pointed out that next year, 11 heads of 18 townships and cities in the county will have their two terms expired, including the candidates for councillors and township mayors. The location and internal integration are clear, and the trend of next year's election can be seen. However, most county residents have high support for Taiwan leaders Tsai Ing-wen and Weng Zhangliang.

The acting chairman of the Chiayi County Party Department of the Kuomintang, Cai Xianxian, said that the result of the "referendum" in Chiayi County was not ideal for the Kuomintang, but next year's election is about people, not policy issues, and the participation of the people will be greatly increased, and the Kuomintang will have room to play relatively large.

As for the nomination of Chiayi County magistrate, Cai Xianxian reiterated that the nomination process will not start until the Central Committee and other intra-party elections are over in March next year. Obviously, he said that the nomination strategy is "bottom-up", and the consensus of the township cadres will be obtained, and the candidates will be determined after thorough internal discussion. Chiayi County is surrounded by Chiayi City, bordered by the Taiwan Strait in the west, and bordered by the Alishan Mountains and the main peak of Yushan in the east, with a total area of ​​1,903 square kilometers and a population of 530,000. In December 2001, Chen Mingwen, who originally belonged to a local faction of the Kuomintang, joined the DPP with a gun and was successfully elected mayor of Chiayi County. Since then, the county has been governed by the Green Camp. (Xue Yang/Editor)
