China Taiwan Network According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News" report on January 7, the Democratic Progressive Party suffered a disastrous defeat in the "nine-in-one" election and only won 6 counties and cities. The atmosphere in the party authorities and local party headquarters was extremely gloomy, and the few county and mayors who won the election were also in an awkward position. Not only did they not dare to celebrate, they even called each other and promised to spend the time in the "lowest profile".
According to reports, at around 5 or 6 pm on November 24 last year, shortly after the opening of voting, counties and cities governed by the Democratic Progressive Party discovered that many dark green vote warehouses could not open the votes, and most candidates also felt that the situation was not stable. Fantastic, not only was it unable to attract votes, but it was even further behind the KMT candidate. It was not until 8:50 that night that Chen Qimai delivered his victory speech that the entire election defeat sentiment within the DPP was pushed to its highest level.
Although Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan saved Taoyuan for the DPP, it is reported that before winning the election, he had called each other with Pingtung County Mayor Pan Meng'an and other Mesozoic county mayor candidates in the party, and everyone communicated well and They reached a tacit consensus that "even if they win the election, they have to spend the most low-key night"... Zheng Wencan, who was finally successfully re-elected, only said in his victory speech: "Victory without joy, you must be more humble and responsible! Because water can carry a boat." , it can also overturn the boat." (China Taiwan Net Yang Xuan)
