If Han runs, this presidential election will become the most popular in Taiwan. An election, if Han does not vote, will be much less popular.
Wang Hongwei, who vigorously supported Han Guoyu's election in 2020, emphasized that for Han Guoyu, this is not just a party chairman election. If Han does not run, the possibility of another "election" in 2024 will be greatly reduced, because there is no There is no political stage in the Palmist Talisman, so Han really becomes a supporting role. This is something Han needs to think carefully about.
The Kuomintang chairman election will be held on July 24. Those who have expressed their intention to run for the party chairman include current chairman Jiang Qichen who is seeking re-election, and the general principal of Sun Wen School Zhang Yazhong .

Wang Hongwei was interviewed by China Review News. The news so far is that Han has not made a final decision. The main reason is that his family members are opposed. He may still have to consider family factors.

said that some people in the party are worried that if Han Guoyu serves as chairman, the backlash will affect the Kuomintang's 2022 county and mayor elections?
Wang Hongwei said that there are people who have such doubts, probably because so far, many green camp cyber forces have not let Han Guoyu go, so they are worried that if Han becomes chairman, it will affect the 2022 election. But since 2022 is an election for county mayors, the most important thing is the candidates. The Kuomintang is currently in power in 14 of the 22 counties and cities in Taiwan, and the achievements of most of the county mayors have been highly recognized by local voters. , so she personally believes that most people in the party still have a certain degree of confidence in the 2022 election.
Wang Hongwei mentioned that because the DPP is a political party that is very good at elections, everyone will worry that if a highly publicized person like Han Guoyu serves as chairman, there may be a lot of inexplicable fake news and fake information. Han, will that also affect the election of the county mayor? Everyone will have such worries.
In addition, Wang Hongwei said that if Han Kuo-yu serves as chairman, it will inevitably make the 2022 election very hot during Taiwan's auxiliary elections. However, people may worry that all the focus will be on the party chairman, but they will not see the performance of county mayors. This is also one of the concerns.
However, Wang Hongwei emphasized that the election of county mayors will ultimately return to fundamentals. Currently, all county mayors in the Blue Camp have been counted, and polls and satisfaction scores have basically performed well. Therefore, as long as voters trust them and affirm the performance of the county mayors, The KMT’s 2022 county and mayor elections are relatively stable.
