According to the latest Taiwan Nationalist Party poll, the poll of Zhang Yazhong jumped to first place from 4.8% of the third place a month ago to 30.6% of the day before yesterday, while Zhu Lilun fell from 36% to 27%, from first to second place.
This major change in the election of the Kuomintang chairman immediately triggered an earthquake within the party, making an unattended party election the most important news focus in Taiwan society.
According to the latest news, major media in Taiwan have focused on the Kuomintang elections and have made key reports on whether Zhang Yazhong can be successfully elected. In addition, major TV political commentary programs have focused on the KMT's internal election trends.
Vested interests in the Kuomintang who have long dominated the high positions, especially the heads of cities and counties and lawmakers, have been unable to sleep all night. Some people say that once Zhang Yazhong is elected as chairman, the Kuomintang will completely embark on the road to the destruction of the party.
So, what kind of path will the ultimate showdown between Zhang Yazhong and Zhu Lilun lead the Kuomintang?
As a political observer who is familiar with Taiwan affairs, I think Zhang Yazhong's sudden emergence and suddenly the poll rose to the top was because the deep blue ethnic group, that is, there are election voters. There is no need to see from Zhu Lilun that can bring a stable win to the 2024 presidential election. Since that is the case, what are you going to be afraid of? Instead of seeing hope, it is better to vote for Zhang Yazhong to make a try.
Secondly, Zhang Yazhong's statement in this election is indeed eye-catching, with novel views, and is relatively close to the actual situation in Taiwan.
Third, Deep Blue supporters are worried that after Zhu Lilun becomes the party chairman, other candidates in 2024 such as Han Kuo-yu , Zhao Shaokang, and Hou Youyi will not have the chance to run for the leadership of Taiwan. Because Zhu Lilun’s real purpose in running for party chairman this time is to compete with the DPP for the top position in 2024.
Fourth, Zhang Yazhong has already stated when he ran for the party chairman that he will come up with a way to win back the regime in 2024 in 2022, and in 2023, the strongest Kuomintang candidate will be elected to run for the 2024 Taiwan leadership election. As the party chairman, he will also withdraw from the front line and assist in the election with all his strength, which will not threaten other candidates within the party who are interested in competing for the regional leadership election.
Based on the above four points, combined with the performance of Zhang Yazhong and Zhu Lilun's cross-question at a political opinion conference on September 18, we can conclude that no matter who is elected as chairman of the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang will only have a difference between strength and weakness, and will never lose the party.
And Zhang Yazhong is elected, which may also bring a glimmer of vitality to the current serious Taiwan Strait crisis.
