China Taiwan Network January 28 According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", the Chinese Kuomintang lost in last year's "nine-in-one" elections in difficult southern constituencies such as Tainan and Kaohsiung, but they all achieved good results, boosting the morale of the blue camp. Some people have expressed their intention to run for the 2024 "legislator", hoping to open up territory for the Kuomintang and regain seats south of Yunlin.
In last year’s “nine-in-one” election, the Chinese Kuomintang won 14 counties and cities. In counties and cities considered difficult constituencies such as Chiayi County, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, and Pingtung County, although they ended in defeat, the number of votes increased. Taking Chiayi County as an example, the KMT's vote rate in the 2018 county chief election increased from 29.54% to 37.15% in last year's election. In Tainan City, the vote rate increased from 32.27% in 2018 to 43.63% in 2022.
The county mayor of the difficult constituency of the Blue Camp has been well elected. Many local Blue Camp people have begun to hope that the 2024 "legislator" election will "turn the green land into a blue sky" and change the current disadvantage of the Blue Camp not having a regional "legislator" seat south of Yunlin County.
According to reports, Chen Yixin, the non-districted "legislator" of the Chinese Kuomintang, has expressed his candidacy for Tainan City's "legislator". When interviewed, he said that as a non-districted "legislator", it is his duty to open up territory for the Kuomintang. He has begun to visit Tainan, hoping that his announcement of candidacy can attract more people with lofty ideals to work together. Chen Meiya, a member of the
constituency in Kaohsiung City's Cijin, Gushan, and Yancheng Districts, has put up billboards in Lingya District. When interviewed by the media, she said that as long as the county, city and party have needs, "I will definitely fight to the end."
Cao Huanrong, deputy chairman of the Kaohsiung City Party Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, was asked by the media whether he would run for election as a "legislator" and said that when responsibility comes, he will definitely choose to face it, assume it, and go all out.
Lin Wenrui, the non-district "legislator" of the Chinese Kuomintang, has also expressed his intention to run for the Yunlin Sea Line "legislator" and has begun to form a campaign team, hoping to win back the Yunlin "legislator" seat for the blue camp.
Insiders of the Chinese Kuomintang said that in the past, it was difficult to find "legislators" in difficult constituencies in the south. After last year's "nine-in-one" election, the Kuomintang achieved good results in these difficult constituencies. It is believed that more people will be willing to participate in the election campaign, and the difficult constituencies are no longer a backwater. (Editor/Li Ning Review/Li Botao)
