China Taiwan Network reported on December 10 that the 2020 chief and deputy leader election in Taiwan held a lottery for candidates yesterday (9th). The DPP's "Tsai Ing-wen/Lai Ching-te" won the No. 3 draw, the KMT's "Han-yu/Zhang Shanzheng" won the No. 2 draw, and the People First Party's "Song Chuyu/Yu Xiang" won the No. 1 draw. According to Taiwan’s “United News Network”, an interesting phenomenon is that since the direct election of Taiwan’s leaders in 1996, the luckiest number is “No. 2”!
reported that in the elections since 1996, in 1996, No. 2 "Lee Teng-hui/Lien Chan" won; in 2000, No. 5 "Chen Shui-bian/Lu Xiu-lian" won; in 2004, No. 1 "Chen Shui-bian/Lu Xiu-lian" was successfully re-elected; in 2008, No. 2 "Ma Ying-jeou/Xiao Wan-chang" was elected; in 2012, No. 2 "Ma Ying-jeou/Wu Dun-yi" was successfully re-elected; in 2016, No. 2 "Tsai Ing-wen/Chen Jian-ren" won. There were 6 election matches, 4 wins from "No. 2", and 1 win each of "No. 1" and "No. 5". Data like
may make Han Kuo-yu's camp happy. However, the report also pointed out that judging from the current poll data, the Kuomintang may have to work harder to stage a "reversal" drama.
In addition, there is another interesting thing that has almost all the Kuomintang candidates won the "No. 2" since 1996. Lee Teng-hui/Lien Chan in 1996, Lien Chan in 2000, Lien Chan in 2004, Song Chuyu in 2008, Ma Ying-jeou/Xiao Wan-jeou in 2012, Ma Ying-jeou/Wu Dun-yi in 2020, and Han Kuo-yu/Zhang Shan-zheng in 2020, are all "No. 2". Among them, only Zhu Lilun /Wang Ruxuan won the "No. 1" in 2016. (China Taiwan Network He Jianfeng)
