Faced with the disastrous defeat in the 2018 "nine-in-one" election, Taiwan's "Executive President" Lai Ching-te announced the resignation of the "Cabinet" on the 11th. Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen announced that former "President" Su Zhenchang would take over, and the "Deputy Executive President" would be replaced by former DPP "legislator" Chen Qimai. , it is worth noting that Lin Jialong, the former mayor of Taichung who failed to be re-elected, took over as the "Minister of Transportation". Su Zhenchang, Chen Chimai and Lin Jialong are like "Avengers", and Taiwan's "Minister of Science and Technology" Chen Liangji was transferred to the "Minister of Education". Most of the financial and economic ministers will stay in their posts until the "cabinet" personnel are confirmed and will take office on the 14th. In the future, the relationship between the "central government" and local governments and the development of Taichung's transportation have attracted much attention.
Tsai Ing-wen does not want to leave Lai Ching-te. Covered with scars, she still sticks to her post.
Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen held a press conference with Lai Ching-te and Su Tseng-chang, officially announcing that Su Tseng-chang would return to take over the "Cabinet" and start the "Cabinet" reorganization work. Tsai Ing-wen said that during his tenure, Lai Ching-te worked hard to implement the 5 plus 2 industrial innovation plan, the forward-looking infrastructure plan, and various policy plans to improve efficiency, optimize the investment environment, and strengthen Taiwan's development. There were many complex and difficult challenges, but Lai Ching-te always had the strongest will and sense of mission. Despite being covered with scars, he still persisted in his position until the last moment.
Tsai Ing-wen pointed out that Lai Qingde believes that he must be responsible for the results of the election. Everyone in the "ruling party", including Su Zhenchang, who is about to take over, hopes that Lai Qingde can stay in office. However, Lai Qingde has made up his mind. Although she is reluctant to give up, she still respects Lai Qingde's decision.
Tsai Ing-wen emphasized that Lai Qingde has left the position of "Gakui", but she believes that "Dean" Lai will still care about Taiwan and Taiwan's future, so he will still be a member of the Taiwan team. "In the future, we will still work hard together for Taiwan."
Lai Qingde praised Su Tseng-chang's "Terminator"
Lai Ching-de said in his speech, "I would like to thank Tsai Ing-wen for giving me the opportunity to serve the land and people of Taiwan." In the past, he led the "Executive Yuan" team to actively and conscientiously carry out seven major tasks. He and the team were cautious and did not dare to relax, and many aspects have already achieved phased results.
Faced with the defeat, Lai Ching-te said that as the "top administrative head" of Taiwan, he should shoulder political responsibilities and thanked Su Tseng-chang for being brave enough to shoulder it. In baseball terms, he considers himself a reliever, while Su Tseng-chang is the "terminator." In high-intensity games, pitching experience is priceless. You must be courageous, dare to confront batters, and control all pitches very well. Su Tseng-chang took over as a terminator. I believe that after the nine innings, he will gain public support.
Su Zhenchang, Chen Qimai, and Lin Jialong lost the election and formed the Avengers
In the 2018 "nine-in-one" election, the old county magistrate Su Zhenchang fought again in New Taipei City , and lost to the Kuomintang opponent and current New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi by 290,000 votes. Now he succeeds Lai Qingde and takes over as the "Executive President".
Chen Qimai ran for the mayor of Kaohsiung , but lost by 150,000 votes to his KMT opponent and current Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu . However, after losing the election, he began to actively operate live broadcasts. He relied on his beloved cat "Chen Xiaomi", flirting words, and generous appointments with fans to meet. His popularity soared. The Thank You Coffee concert was sold out to more than 10,000 people. He also sang "Red Bean" live, and his image of a warm man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Lin Jialong failed in his bid to be re-elected as mayor of Taichung. He lost to KMT opponent Lu Xiuyan, the current mayor of Taichung, by 210,000 votes. However, after losing the election, he followed Chen Qimai to run Facebook Live. Lin Jialong's first live broadcast after losing the election had more than 7,000 people online at the same time and more than 30,000 messages. He also held a puppet "Sally" and chatted with netizens, showing off his serious image. Now the "Cabinet" is reorganized, with Chen Qimai and Lin Jialong taking over as "Deputy Executive President" and "Minister of Transportation" respectively.
