According to Taiwanese media reports, the Democratic Progressive Party is preparing for the nine-in-one election at the end of the year. The candidate for mayor of the "Double North" has not yet been announced. Although the British department has planned that Taipei City will be contested by Chen Shizhong, New Taipei City "Legislator" Luo Chi-cheng will be contested, but Recently, there are rumors that the top management has not given up on recruiting former "Minister of Transportation" Lin Jialong to choose New Taipei , which makes Lin unbearable. Why didn't Lin Jialong choose New Taipei? Actually there is a reason.
After Lin Jialong resigned as "Minister of Transportation" last year, he once went to the official residence to talk to Tsai Ing-wen. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen asked in person whether she might run for mayor of New Taipei City, but Lin Jialong believed that candidates who have been operating in the area for a long time should be the main candidates, and he had no plans. Later, Lin Jialong publicly campaigned to run for mayor of Taipei, worked diligently at the grassroots level, and recently put forward the political opinions of "Twelve Lessons in the Capital" every week. But recently, with the New Taipei City recruitment approaching, the party has begun to persuade Lin Jialong to run for New Taipei City, which makes Lin very puzzled.
Lin Jialong’s camp even discovered that there were cyber army attacks on Facebook . They continued to criticize Lin for sharing the stage with Annette Lu recently, and also emphasized that Taipei City should let Chen Shizhong be elected.
In this battle in New Taipei City, he will face the powerful enemy Hou Youyi. Lin Jialong has never considered running for New Taipei City. In fact, there are two reasons: first, he was born in Wanhua, Taipei, and has no special connection with New Taipei City, and he thinks that if he runs for election If he really wants to be elected, he will continue to stay even if he loses the election. However, other factions in the party are not necessarily happy to see him continue to "occupy territory" in New Taipei, and may even ask him to leave if he loses the election. , he can't do this.
Furthermore, Lin Jialong believes that New Taipei City alone has nine local "legislators". If a local "legislator" is willing, he will choose New Taipei by air. This will block the development opportunities of other young people. In addition, I had no plan in the first place, so the answer was no.
Recently, the British faction pushed Luo Zhizheng to run for the New Taipei City election. During the process, it was reported that high-level officials were looking for Lin Jialong and Pingtung County Magistrate Pan Meng'an. The outside world was seeing smoke and mirrors. It is reported that high-level party officials did inquire about Pan Meng'an recently, but it was not an informal consultation but only a phone call. Pan Meng'an declined at the first opportunity and the two sides did not continue the discussion.
