has said before that there are three overtimes in the island's "election battle", including the postponement of the mayor of Chiayi and the by-elections for the two public opinion representative seats in Taipei and Nantou. Now, the election for the mayor of Chiayi has been completed. Kuomintang candidate Huang Minhui crushed DPP candidate Li Junli with a high vote of 59,874, successfully achieved re-election, and also set a record of being elected mayor 4 times.
This also means that the DPP won another victory in this "election campaign", while the Kuomintang continued its momentum of victory and won another victory, and the "political map" moved one step closer to the south!
It is worth noting that in order to win the election of mayor of Chiayi, the Democratic Progressive Party has carried out shameless political manipulation many times. However, voters actually voted "no confidence" in the DPP, which shows that the power of "hating the DPP" on the island is growing.
Green Camp once wanted to "steal" the mayor of Chiayi with two tricks.
In the previous elections, the Kuomintang mayoral candidate Huang Minhui has maintained a stable leading position in the polls, which also caused great distress to the DPP authorities. The unexpected death of one of the Chiayi mayoral candidates gave the DPP an opportunity.
As a result, the Chiayi mayoral election, which could have been held as scheduled, was turned into a time-consuming, laborious, and expensive overtime, so that the entire Democratic Progressive Party could "camp out" to mobilize and support candidate Li Junli. At the same time, the postponement of the mayor's election will inevitably lead to a decrease in the turnout of the people. The DPP hopes to "steal" this mayoral seat in Chiayi, a city where green is slightly larger than blue, by relying on the party's organizational mobilization and low turnout.
In addition, the general by-election work will be carried out on Saturdays, but this time the Chiayi mayor’s by-election was specially placed on Sunday. This is another despicable trick used by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to "steal" votes by taking advantage of the decrease in turnout.
It’s just that the DPP made their wishful thinking, but the final result gave them a slap in the face. Li Junli lost to Huang Minhui's 63% with 37% of the vote. The difference between the two sides was nearly 30,000 votes. It can be said that Li Junli could not even see the taillights of his opponent's car!
The reason why Huang Minhui defeated Li Junli with a high number of votes
Under the malicious manipulation and fierce pursuit of the "ruling" force of the Democratic Progressive Party, Huang Minhui not only won the victory, but also achieved a high vote crushing, and refreshed the KMT's record of vote share in Chiayi City. What are the factors?
If we want to analyze Huang Minhui’s winning factors, we have to comprehensively analyze it from three aspects.
First of all, in terms of political achievements, Huang Minhui has been in politics for more than 20 years. She has rich political experience and is deeply involved in grassroots work. She also made many practical things that were truly beneficial to people's livelihood while serving as the mayor of Chiayi. Zhang Shanzheng , who was just elected mayor of Taoyuan, once said that when Huang Minhui went to the market to ask for votes, she could almost call every vendor by name, which showed that she really took the people into her heart. On the other hand, Li Junli was only recruited a few months before the election. In addition to starting late, he was also questioned as not being down-to-earth, so naturally he was unable to gain the approval of voters.
Secondly, because of the disastrous defeat in the election, the Democratic Progressive Party was busy "catching war criminals" and infighting, setting off a storm in a teapot. Neither Tsai Ing-wen nor Lai Qingde came to help, and the auxiliary election was in a state of flameout. The Kuomintang, on the other hand, mobilized the whole party to actively mobilize for Huang Minhui, which can be said to be "the whole party supports one person."
Finally, from the perspective of public opinion, the DPP still has not reflected on itself after the disastrous defeat. The black gold issue remains unresolved, and people's livelihood problems are difficult to resolve. Even the supporters of the green camp do not want to come out to vote, so how can it not suffer a disastrous defeat?
If the DPP remains stubborn and continues to go its own way, it will suffer even greater losses in 2024!
