China Taiwan Network reported on April 28th According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", the Kuomintang Taipei Mayor's primary election debate finally returned to the stage on the 28th, with former "legislator" Ding Shouzhong, Sun Daqian, former vice chairman of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council Zhang Xianyao and Taipei City Councilman Zhong Xiaoping and others competing for nominations. The topic focuses on the case of Guan Zhongmin's candidacy for Taipei Mayor. The four candidates have different opinions on whether to accept the management and conduct the second-stage poll. Among them, Zhong Xiaoping and Sun Daqian supported it and hoped to integrate resources within the party and launch the strongest candidate against , Ke Wenzhe, and .
The Taiwan authorities' "Ministry of Education" and "extubation case" have attracted social attention. The outside world supports Guan Zhongmin to run for the election of mayor of Taipei. One of the questioners, Taipei City Councilman Xu Hongting, in response to current affairs, asked whether the candidate agreed to the second-stage poll to compete with Guan Zhongmin? In this regard, Zhong Xiaoping emphasized that "the pan-blue must be integrated". If the party's nomination can be successfully obtained, but in the second phase of the poll, he was willing to withdraw, and even called on the People First Party and the New Party to unite.
In addition, Sun Daqian also agreed to the second stage integration. He believed that as long as he had the same concept, he could do all means to promote cooperation between the two sides. In addition, there was an unwritten rule on the primary election within the Kuomintang, that is, the party's primary election rules will be negotiated by the candidates. If the candidates are willing to adjust the schedule of the primary election, it is not impossible for Guan Zhongmin to participate in the election.
Ding Shouzhong was reserved. He believed that everyone had their own ambitions. Many things were not achieved by everyone's praise. They had to strive for it by relying on a sense of mission. He also said bluntly, "My goal is to target Ke Wen-je." If the Kuomintang wants to win the election, it must launch the strongest person. If everyone is not satisfied with the final candidate, they can still negotiate.
Zhang Xianyao said that Guan Zhongmin is his old friend and he respects whether he wants to run for the mayor of Taipei. However, Zhang also pointed out that Ko Wen-je’s model is different from that of the Kuomintang. The DPP and Ko Wen-je cooperated because there was no candidate, but the Kuomintang is now trying to find someone with momentum, reputation and take back the ruling power. It is recommended that everyone negotiate to send the strongest candidate. (China Taiwan Network Li Ning)
