Strait Herald News (Reporter Xue Yang, Trainee Reporter Trainee Reporter Chen Zilin) The Kuomintang of China will hold a central committee meeting this afternoon and will formally nominate former "legislator" Ke Zhien to run for mayor of Kaohsiung.
"This is a pretty good card played by the Kuomintang in the recent sluggish situation!" Distinguished Professor Liao Daqi of the Institute of Political Science at Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan analyzed in an interview with Straits Herald reporter that although Ke Zhien is not Kaohsiung is a local, but his image and reputation are not bad. After the news of the recruitment came out, judging from the reaction of the Kuomintang city councilors, everyone generally accepted Ke Zhien. Some time ago, there were a lot of problems with the KMT's nomination in Taoyuan City; this time in Kaohsiung, there was no backlash from the grassroots when Kaohsiung nominated Ke Zhien for mayor, and it sent a message of unity to fight for the election. The KMT has finally gotten rid of the previous gloom.
In addition to Ke Zhien, Sun Wen School President Zhang Yazhong , former "Director of Health" Yang Zhiliang, Kinmen "legislator" Chen Yuzhen, Kaohsiung City's former Civil Affairs Director Cao Huanrong, etc. have all expressed their willingness to run for Kaohsiung mayor. Liao Daqi analyzed that Zhang Yazhong is relatively well-known, but his views are too "biased" and are not "mainstream opinions" in Taiwan, especially Kaohsiung. As for Yang Zhiliang, he has a public health background and polls are good, but he has a cannon personality. , he is more violent in swearing; besides, his age is really too old for those who want to elect the mayor.
Talking about Chen Yuzhen, Liao Daqi said that she did not have a deep connection with Kaohsiung and was not familiar with the city council candidates. As for Han Jiajun Cao Huanrong, Liao Daqi said that he did not have deep roots in Kaohsiung. He is not well-known both in Kaohsiung and in Taiwan. not enough.
Compared with other competitors, Liao Daqi believes that Ke Zhien is the least controversial and is a candidate acceptable to all parties. During the election, candidates for city council all need the leadership of a "hen". Ke Zhien is more mellow and will be a stronger "hen".
After the news that he would be recruited by the Kuomintang, Ke Zhien immediately went to visit Wang Jinping, a big boss born in Kaohsiung and the former "Legislative Yuan". Liao Daqi said that Wang Jinping could influence the Bai faction and the farmers' association system at least in Kaohsiung, so Ke Zhien visited Wang Jinping and asked Wang to call Xiao Hanjun, chairman of the Kaohsiung City Farmers' Association.
Liao Daqi pointed out that it is not necessarily possible for Ke Zhien to have the support of Wang Jinping, but without his support, the chance of losing will be greater. In other words, for Ke Zhien, Wang Jinping is not guaranteed to win, but it is definitely a bonus.
