Yang Zhenzhen, the magistrate of Kinmen County, is seeking re-election at the end of the year. Party "legislator" Chen Yuzhen threatened to challenge and has been making continuous moves recently. The new party chairman , Kinmen , who was formerly the deputy county magistrate of Kinmen , told the Hong Kong China News Agency that even if the Kuomintang is divided in Kinmen, it will only be temporarily, and the Kuomintang will not lose a seat as Kinmen County Mayor. Because the Kinmen people are most afraid of "Taiwan independence", it is difficult for the green camp to break through.
Yang Zhenwen and Chen Yuzhen
Kinmen registered population is about 140,000, and the Blue Army is in the territory. The 2020 "general election" Han Kuo-yu won a vote rate of 74.83% in Kinmen, and Tsai Ing-wen only received 21.77% of the votes.
Wu Chengdian analyzed that the Green Camp wanted to win the county magistrate in Kinmen, but at present, there was no chance, because the people of Kinmen are most afraid of "Taiwan independence". If "Taiwan independence", where should Kinmen, the closest to the mainland, go? Therefore, the problem of the Kuomintang is to see whether Chen Yuzhen decides to run for election and how to coordinate within the party in the future.
Yang Zhenzhen, the Kuomintang’s Kinmen County Mayor who served as a “legislator”, is the first county magistrate and will seek re-election by the end of the year. Chen Yuzhen is known as the "female war god" in the "Legislative Yuan". She can be called a blue camp topic manufacturing machine. She has recently spoken to challenge Yang Zhenzhen and has begun to take action. The Kuomintang Central Committee has not yet introduced a county and city mayor election method, and it is expected that it will only be planned after the Spring Festival. Whether to decide whether to be given priority to the current position or the primary election within the party is currently under consideration.
Wu Chengdian, who is also a Kinmen native and has served as deputy county magistrate, analyzed that after the Kinmen County Magistrate adopted the democratic election in 1993, Chen Shui, the first Kinmen County Magistrate, was successfully re-elected with Li Zhufeng, the third Xin Party Magistrate. The next two county magistrates were replaced by challengers. Therefore, there is a saying in Kinmen that "the county magistrate only serves one term", which is what Yang Zhenzhen should be nervous about.
Wu Chengdian said that the Kinmen County Magistrate's election was quite powerful in the local clan power, especially " Chen family clan" and "Li family resident" as the two strongest. The previous county magistrates were either Chen or Li. The current county magistrate Yang Zhenzhen is an exception, but Yang actually won with the support of the Li clan relatives.
As for Chen Yuzhen, Wu Chengdian said that he heard many voices from places to encourage her to run for the election, believing that her service was very good, especially arranging emergency medical evacuation, which would make Kinmen villagers feel. In addition, his performance in the Legislative Yuan was very energetic, which was all the reasons why everyone persuaded them to enter. As for Yang Zhenzhen's performance, it was not bad, but in comparison, it seemed a little low-key.
Wu Chengdian mentioned that it is unknown whether the former Kinmen County Mayor Chen Fuhai will run for the election. He is a pro-blue color. If he also wants to run for the election, because he is a Chen clan relative with Chen Yuzhen, he will definitely go through competition first and then launch one person to challenge Yang Zhensheng.
Wu Chengdian said that because of the small number of basic votes in Kinmen, there are many variables in the county magistrate's election, and often a few hundred votes determine the winning or losing. Yang Zhenzhen only beat Chen Fuhai at that time about 800 votes. Therefore, it is really hard to say who will lose and who will win when Chen Yuzhen faces Yang Zhenzhen.
As for whether the Kuomintang’s division will have a negative effect in Kinmen? Wu Chengdian said that Chen Yuzhen's first "legislator" was to run for election with the party and then returned to the Kuomintang after being elected. Therefore, the Kuomintang's division in Kinmen is temporary division, which has little impact on the election, and will not benefit the DPP in the district.
Wu Chengdian emphasized that the DPP can still capture cities and land in Kinmen in a short period of time, because the Kinmen people are most afraid of "Taiwan independence", which is derived from the fundamental thing. Kinmen people all hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be good, because in terms of distance, Kinmen is closer to the mainland and far away from Taiwan, but it is a community of life with Taiwan. This is the characteristic of Kinmen and the fate of Kinmen. The attribute is that, and it is difficult for the green camp to break through.
Previously, according to Taiwanese media reports, Chen Yuzhen recently said in Taipei that the current Kinmen County Magistrate's "satisfaction" is certainly not as high as hers. She will think carefully about joining the county magistrate election and make a decision as soon as possible after the Spring Festival. Her words caused discussion at the grassroots level of Kinmen. Chen Zhibin, director of the Kinmen County Mayor's Office, responded that satisfaction and support are different, and the poll standards of county and city mayors and the civil service representatives are also different. She advised her not to cause the Kuomintang to split in Kinmen and do things that "feel and hate" should be done.
Chen Zhibin said that the county mayor and the public opinion representative have their own division of labor. At present, the division of labor in Kinmen County is led by the county magistrate Yangzhen, responsible for the overall planning and construction of the county government. Chen Yuzhen "commissioned member" assists in the government in obtaining a budget, which is the best arrangement for the overall development of Kinmen. If the Kuomintang splits in Kinmen, the worst result is that the county magistrate and public opinion representatives lose both. This kind of love and revenge is not willing to see the result of Kinmen County people or the supporters of the Kuomintang. (Xue Yang/Edited)
