Tainan City "legislator" election. Ever since the former Chairman of the Kuomintang Hong Xiuzhu announced his candidacy for the Sixth District, it has caused ripples in the originally deserted election. Hong is a high-profile and important member of the blue camp Airborne landing in difficult constituencies created topics, and also aroused the momentum of the blue camp and increased electoral benefits. The blue camp had a full schedule in Tainan on New Year's Day, including Han Kuo-yu and Ma Ying-jeou all appeared, and they unanimously raised the momentum for Hong Kong, showing Hong's victory or defeat is very important.
The Blue Camp has been active in Tainan on New Year's Day. In the morning, the Tainan Party Headquarters first held a New Year's Day flag-raising event, invited 2020 candidate Han Kuo-yu to host it, and announced the establishment of the Tainan Support Club. In the afternoon, Ma Ying-jeou also went to Tainan to start the auxiliary election trip. Interestingly, Blue A series of itineraries were closely related to Hong Xiuzhu.
Whether Han Guoyu is presiding over the flag-raising ceremony or delivering a speech at a support meeting, he always first praises Hong's fearless spirit and always calls on supporters to urge votes to support Hong Xiuzhu. Ma Ying-jeou made a special trip to help Hung in the election, and chose a low-key and very local auxiliary election itinerary. He accompanied Hung to pay homage to the community-based "Jiaotou Temple" hidden in the alleys of East District, Tainan, so as to deeply interact with voters and build emotional ties. The blue camp gathered in Tainan on New Year's Day, and Hong Xiuzhu became the protagonist.
Hong Xiuzhu represented Lanying in Tainan’s sixth constituency (Rende District, Qui Nhon District , Guanmiao District, Longqi District, Eastern District). In the past, this constituency also included Yongkang District and did not include the Eastern District. However, because Tainan The population increased, the number of "legislator" seats and the scope of the constituency were adjusted. Yongkang District was removed from this constituency and included in 29 miles of the Eastern District.
The East District of Tainan is a rare area in Tainan where the voter structure is bluer than green. The addition of the East District will help the candidates in the blue camp. Coupled with Hong's popularity and personal charm, the Sixth District has been transformed from the blue camp. In order to have a chance to win, he is even expected to defeat Green Camp veteran Wang Dingyu.
Therefore, the victory or defeat of Hong Xiuzhu’s seat is crucial to the success and failure of the Blue Camp in Tainan. Since Hong announced his candidacy for Tainan’s “legislator” in September 2019, it has given the Blue Camp a shot in the arm, and the Kuomintang Tainan's election campaign became active, and Hong launched the integration of forces in the Eastern District, which attracted the attention of the Blue Camp. At the end of 2019, a "pull-out" incident occurred in which party chief Zhou Yiting switched his support to Wang Dingyu. More than 30 Blue Camp chiefs in the Eastern District immediately jointly issued a " Support the Pillar" statement, and Taipei City Lanying City Councilor Luo Zhiqiang even went south to express support.
After the East District chief’s “pillar support” statement, the 2020 New Year’s Day event came to Tainan, and the blue camp also strongly boosted Hong Xiuzhu’s momentum. Usually a candidate often receives support from the auxiliary election. In most cases, the election situation is urgent. They were worried about losing the election, but it was normal for the Blue Camp to lose the election in Tainan. However, the Kuomintang still actively helped Hong in the election this time. On the one hand, it was grateful for her contribution, and on the other hand, it thought it had a chance to win and could give it a try.
According to statistics from the "Election Committee", in the 2018 county and city chief election, the number of voters in the 29 districts of Tainan East District was 105,271. Huang Weizhe, the Green Camp Tainan mayor candidate in the 2018 election, only received more than 20,000 votes in the East District. Losing thousands of votes to the opponent of the blue camp, Gao Sibo, it is obvious that the Eastern District has helped the blue camp in the election. Now, with Hong Xiuzhu’s active work, the forces of the blue camp in the Eastern District have seen the effect of integration. In addition, in recent days, key players from the blue camp have taken turns to Tainan. To support the election, the campaign in Tainan before the South Korean presidential election on January 4 also used "supporting pillars" as the key point of promotion, and focused on the "Han Zhu Zhu" Tainan combination, which showed the strategic importance of Hong's position. If he wins the election, he will become a Blue The camp is a big step in turning Tainan around.
