The number of electors from the Kuomintang in 2021 and the Huang Fuxing Party Headquarters had a total of 377,711 people. Among them, the three major votes were distributed in Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Kaohsiung City Districts, with a total of more than 130,000 votes, and the "Six Capitals" accounted for about 170,000 people.
The last day before the election, all four candidates issued an open letter to urge the vote. Zhu Lilun shouted that the Kuomintang cannot go to extremes, and the bubble turns into "little red", "little green", or "little white". He also mentioned that whether it is the DPP's "Taiwan independence" proposition or the overly extreme cross-strait policy, "it is all hurt, we cannot sit still and will not sit still."
Zhang Yazhong thanked his supporters. He said that no matter what the result is, he has won the care and encouragement projected on his own during the election process. In reality, Zhang Yazhong emphasized that this is the election that the Kuomintang has the most chance to change, and urged himself to vote with the slogan "Save the Party together, save the 'country', and save the two sides of the Taiwan Strait".
Jiang Qichen, facing the crisis of "abandoning security" shouted that tomorrow's voting results will be the key to whether the Kuomintang can maintain youthful decency and actively fight. Set the tone. This is a choice for "old politics and the new era" and reiterates the five major political views. The double "referendum" passed, the "leader-level special envoy" was sent to break the ice between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, the county and city mayors won more than 15 seats, the selfless nomination of Taiwan leaders and more than half of the legislative bodies. If any of them is not reached, he will resign and be responsible.
Zhuo Boyuan said that the recent troubles have made everyone see that the Kuomintang is facing a crisis of polar division within the party. This is not a question of going to the right to the left, but a crisis that concerns whether the Kuomintang can move towards the path of governance, or becomes a topic-based small and medium-sized political party. He said that the Kuomintang currently has only one way out, that is, the whole party supports him, who is the greatest common divisor, so that the party can truly unite and embark on the road of rebirth.
