People within the Democratic Progressive Party said that whether a consensus can be reached on Taipei City's nomination still depends on the status of the discussion. It is expected that New Taipei City will have a higher chance of making a decision today; factional people said t

Tsai Ing-wen, who is also the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, will convene an election strategy committee this afternoon to discuss the nomination of county mayors. It is reported that Taipei City and New Taipei City , which are regarded as top priorities by the party, are on the agenda. DPP insiders said that whether a consensus can be reached on Taipei City's nomination still depends on the discussion. It is expected that New Taipei City will have a higher chance of making a decision today; in addition, it includes Chiayi City, Changhua County , Hsinchu County , and Huahua County. Dong et al. will also be included in the review and discussion.

Party insiders said that there is currently a preliminary consensus within the party that "legislator" Luo Zhizheng will take charge of the battle, but the top management has not yet completely given up on the idea of ​​recruiting Pingtung County Magistrate Pan Meng'an, "former Minister of Transportation" Lin Jialong and other airborne strongmen. It is expected that the selection meeting will make the final decision today. If a consensus is reached, the recruitment process can be completed as soon as next Wednesday at the executive meeting.

Pingtung County Mayor Pan Meng'an

People from the faction said that selecting airborne candidates for New Taipei City has always been one of the thoughts of the top leaders of the Democratic Progressive Party. The candidates ranged from "Minister of the Interior" Xu Guoyong, Keelung Mayor Lin Youchang, Lin Jialong to Pan Meng'an. When naming names, these people do have different internal party systems, and they are recommended or consulted separately. The main purpose is nothing more than hoping to use the halo of political stars to suppress Hou Youyi and prevent his momentum from spilling over in the year-end election, but they have something in common. However, these candidates generally lack the will. People in the

faction pointed out that in the near future, the airborne candidates Pan Meng'an and Lin Jialong are still on the list of possibilities evaluated by the party's top leaders. The key to recruiting one of the two to run is whether Tsai Ing-wen is willing to show the will of the DPP chairman. To carry out strong persuasion; but so far, this atmosphere has not been seen. In comparison, Luo Zhizheng, in addition to his own willingness to participate in the war, has basically obtained the support of more than half of the Green Camp New Taipei forces, and his chances of qualifying today are currently higher.

Party insiders said that the finalists for the nomination of Taipei mayor have basically been established, namely "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shizhong and Lin Jialong. The relevant consultation work is still ongoing, but since Lin Jialong also attended the election today, Yes, we still cannot rule out the possibility of reaching a consensus today. According to the overall assessment, the DPP has a high chance of completing the nomination of county and city leaders before the National Congress on July 17. (Xue Yang/editor)
