China Taiwan Network, June 17 According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", it is almost a foregone conclusion that Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian will be elected as the mayor of Taoyuan, and he will be nominated as soon as next Wednesday. As for the "Double North" candidates, the Democratic Progressive Party, including Chen Shizhong, Lin Jialong, and Luo Zhizheng, all have supportive voices. It is also reported that the Kuomintang Party will send "legislator" Cai Biru to challenge New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi who is seeking re-election. Cai frankly said that he would run for office if the military order is issued.
The Democratic Progressive Party will hold an election strategy committee meeting this Saturday, and it is expected to discuss the nomination of Lin Zhijian to run for mayor of Taoyuan. This also means that he may resign early to participate in the election, violating his original promise to "do a good job".
"Power of the Times" and "Legislator" Qiu Xianzhi criticized that Lin Zhijian should focus on his own business. Last year's merger of counties and cities and the revision of the "local laws" were all based on people and circumstances to find a way for himself. Now he wants to go Selecting Taoyuan and appointing a successor are all political operations. He appealed to Lin Zhijian, who still has half a year left in his term. The most important thing is to take good care of the lives, health and well-being of the citizens. "Everyone is watching to see whether they are sincerely dedicated to this land."
For the Democratic Progressive Party's nomination for mayor of Taoyuan, it has consulted former "legislators" Peng Shaojin, Huang Shizhuo, and Zheng Baoqing. Zheng Yunpeng, the current "legislator" who is interested in campaigning, said yesterday that he had indeed not been consulted.
As for the candidates for mayor of the "Double North", including Chen Shizhong, Lin Jialong, Luo Zhizheng, etc., they are all on the list of the DPP's "election meeting". According to reports, although Chen Shizhong's popularity has declined recently, the "British faction" (Tsai Ing-wen's faction within the Democratic Progressive Party) still tends to support his candidacy, and New Taipei also recommended the British faction "legislator" Luo Zhizheng to challenge Hou Youyi. Lin Jialong, who is vying to run for mayor of Taipei, claimed that the Democratic Progressive Party has many talents who can run for the election. If a candidate can be selected before the party congress on July 17 as scheduled and epidemic prevention work is done well, the election can be promoted simultaneously.
