China Taiwan Network reported on April 8th According to Taiwan's United Daily News, Lai Ching-te, the "former president of the Executive Yuan" of the Taiwan authorities who participated in the 2020 nomination primary election, went to the God Temple in Xiaying, Tainan yesterday (7th), and once again proposed three unchanges to participate in the primary election: the determination to persist in completing the primary election procedures will not change, the hope that the primary election methods will not change, and the so-called mission to the people will not change.
Lai Ching-te said that when he ran for the mayor of Tainan, he came to visit with party city councillors. In addition to fulfilling his wish this time, he also prayed for his success in the 2020 "general election".
The coordination period for the primary elections within the Democratic Progressive Party is about to end. Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te are competing for each other. It is also unknown whether the primary election procedures will follow.
According to previous reports from Taiwan media, it is rumored that Tsai Ing-wen said that she is the current leader and it is impossible to have political debates with her "Premier" in public, and she clearly refuses to conduct party primary elections according to the game plan. Therefore, Lai Ching-te reiterated that he hoped that the primary election method would not be changed, which was considered to be a shouting to the Party Central Committee for the turmoil of the primary election. Party insiders believe that although Lai Ching-te said that he would meet Tsai Ing-wen after the 10th Central Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in accordance with the arrangements of the party chairman, Lai's recent statements have become increasingly clear and tend to be tough, and it is difficult for Tsai Lai to accept coordination than before. Yesterday, some island communities also issued a statement to support the system. (China Taiwan Network Li Ning)
