According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan’s senior media person and former anchor He Qisheng pointed out on Facebook yesterday (15th) that the Kuomintang released an intra-party poll. Among the seven possible candidates, Zhang Yazhong ranked fifth. This move made him question "The Kuomintang Central Committee's method is very clumsy. Do you really think no one can see it? This is too insulting the people's IQ." In response to this, Luo Zhiqiang's soldiers and Kuomintang Taipei City Council candidate Yang Zhidou called on the Kuomintang Central Committee. If there is a poll, all candidates should be shown to "accept public comments" and called for the establishment of a "fair poll mechanism to eliminate the culture of anonymous talk."
Yang Zhidou
Yang Zhidou today (16th) put the title of "The polls are true and false, please ask the Kuomintang Central Committee to face up to the Kaohsiung nomination issue" on Facebook, pointing out that this result is "not surprising at all". The senior officials of the Kuomintang have set the tone to nominate only "rational and middle-way" people to choose county and city mayors, so they exclude Luo Zhiqiang and cut off the battle blue. "Zhang Yazhong was denied in Kaohsiung , which was also something that the script had expected long ago."
Yang Zhidou said that before the mayor of Kaohsiung still decided, "As a small party member, I still hope to do my best to avoid the recurrence of the dispute in Taoyuan, so as to accelerate the integration of Kaohsiung City and fight a beautiful election battle." At the same time, he emphasized that the polls are true and false. If the Kuomintang Central Committee makes a poll, it should reveal the relevant information. "At least, it must hand over the information to the candidates to convince everyone, rather than reappearing the culture of speaking. The results of the polls will only reduce the prestige of the Kuomintang Central Committee!"
Yang Zhidou mentioned that when he took office as a party, he had a meeting with the party chairman Zhu Lilun . When Zhu Lilun mentioned the support of the political party, he once said that the support of the Kuomintang was not as low as that of the media. The polls conducted by think tanks within the Kuomintang were about twice as high as those reported. However, Yang Zhidou pointed out that he had spoken at that time, "called for the Kuomintang to publish this poll generously, which proves that there is still a certain degree of support." But Zhu did not respond at the scene, and this poll was not seen in the subsequent polls, "only stop at the stage of 'circulating within the party'."
Finally, Yang Zhidou called on Kaohsiung Mayor to "given the polls of the candidates and accept public comments", and if there is no such poll, he would refute them and make a real poll to evaluate the election situation. Yang boldly predicted that according to the tone of the Kuomintang Central Committee, Zhang Yazhong's chance to represent the Kuomintang in Kaohsiung is zero, but he also bluntly stated that "establishing a fair polling mechanism and eliminating the culture of anonymous talk" is what the Kuomintang should do now!
