The Kuomintang won the final nomination on the 17th. The Kuomintang’s finale was New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan ran for re-election. The Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun specifically said that the two were the strongest generals. On the 18th, Zhu Lilun went to Taichung to build a stage for Lu Xiuyan's first show, and gave Lu Xiuyan the important responsibility of the Taiwan auxiliary election on the spot. He intends to hold on to the top two "princes" of the Blue Camp and share the task of assisting the election for the Kuomintang Central Committee. Zhu Lilun was previously publicly named by former vice chairman Hao Longbin as a controversial figure. He will keep a distance and compare Zhu's actions, which seems to indirectly confirm the relevant statement.
KMT Central Committee’s “nine-in-one” election for has been controversial, causing complaints within the party. Hao Longbin, former mayor of Taipei and former vice chairman of the Kuomintang, recently accepted an exclusive interview with the media, publicly accusing Zhu Lilun of causing a lot of controversy during the election nomination process. Hao Longbin said that many candidates have good qualifications and conditions, but in the process, Zhu caused controversy, which made many people have opinions about Zhu. The candidates hope to win the greatest support, so they will avoid asking Zhu Lilun to assist in the election.
Zhu Lilun was named a controversial figure and was not popular within the party. On the 17th, the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee nominated Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan and New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi for re-election. Zhu Lilun emphasized that Lu and Hou are the two strongest generals of the Blue Camp and will assist in the election of the Blue Camp in the future.
Lu Xiuyan returned to Taichung on the 18th to hold the first campaign to build a campaign after the nomination. Zhu Lilun also went south to stand and reiterated on the spot that Lu Xiuyan is the benchmark for the selection of generals in the Blue Camp. The responsibility is not only in Taichung's victory, but also in the strongest "heen" in the Blue Camp in Taiwan. It has the responsibility to help many county and city mayors in the Blue Camp, and everyone uses Lu Xiuyan's experience to inherit and drive it together. When Lu Xiuyan heard this, she smiled and nodded.
Logically, the election assistance work across Taiwan should be coordinated by the Kuomintang Central Committee, and the party chairman is a key role in leadership and rule. However, observing the interaction between the Kuomintang electors and Zhu Lilun, there is no relationship between the Democratic Progressive Party electors and Tsai Ing-wen. On the DPP local candidate election board, you can often see photos with Tsai Ing-wen. On the other hand, there is almost no photo board with Zhu Lilun when the Kuomintang is seen. Obviously, Hao Longbin's statement that the Blue Camp election will keep a distance from the Party Chairman is not a false statement.
Compared with Zhu Lilun's entrustment to Lu Xiuyan and Hou Youyi, he may also have self-knowledge. However, Lu Xiuyan and Hou Youyi themselves have election battles to fight, so are they still striving to disperse their efforts to assist in other counties and cities? In addition, the Kuomintang Central Committee has not been able to seize local elections. Has the prestige of Party Chairman Zhu Lilun damaged? The subsequent development is worth observing.
Zhu Lilun is determined to lead the Kuomintang to win the battle by the end of the year before he can get to the next level. Due to the controversy between the DPP, the general environment this year is beneficial to the Kuomintang. If Hou Youyi and Lu Xiuyan can properly play the role of "hen" and let the Kuomintang win the National Taiwan National Congress, it will indirectly help Zhu Lilun. (Source: China Review News Agency)
