According to Taiwanese media reports on March 10, Chen Jianren, the former deputy leader of Taiwan, joined the Democratic Progressive Party. According to recent polls by the DPP think tank, Chen Jianren has the highest opinion polls in the Democratic Progressive Party for the candidate for mayor of Taipei. There are rumors that the Democratic Progressive Party The party's "legislator" strongly supported Chen Jianren's election in Taipei City, and "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shi was elected in Taoyuan. In this regard, Chen Shizhong said today: "These are all imaginations and suggestions. At present, the epidemic and government affairs are the priority." Chen Shizhong was unwilling to respond directly to such topics.
Chen Shizhong has previously stated in media interviews that he is willing to run for office and will run as long as the epidemic situation slows down and he can choose. However, as time went by and the situation changed, Chen Shizhong's attitude toward candidacy became increasingly ambiguous.
Taiwanese political observers said that as the election campaign approaches, the major factions within the Democratic Progressive Party are showing off their talents and fighting overtly and covertly. As for the appointment of county mayors, the factions compete to compete with each other before releasing the list. Chen Jianren has confirmed that he will belong to Tsai Ing-wen's "British" people, but Chen Shizhong is undecided. Therefore, while the DPP is still in the stage of laying out its strategy, where Chen Shizhong will choose and where he can choose has nothing to do with his own will. At the end of the day, everything depends on the arrangements of the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party.
