According to Global Network citing reports from the island media, the "nine-in-one" election on the island has entered the countdown, and the election battle is becoming increasingly fierce and has reached a climax. On September 27, the Kuomintang held a oath-taking establishment meeting of the election support group, and former Kuomintang Chairman Ma Ying-jeou and Wu Dun-yi both went to attend.
Judging from the published list, the Kuomintang’s election support group gathered in large numbers, which also highlighted the importance of this “nine-in-one” election on the island. This election campaign team is headed by Zhu Lilun, Ma Ying-jeou, Lian Zhan , Wu Dunyi and other successive party chairmen serve as honorary leaders. Jiang Qichen and other former chairman also attended and supported it.
Ma Ying-jeou took cross-strait relations as the guide at the meeting and called on the Kuomintang to win in this "nine-in-one" election. He said that during his tenure as Taiwan, no one would think there would be a conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. But just over six years have passed, and the Taiwan Strait has become known as the most dangerous place in the world. In this regard, Ma Ying-jeou believes that only if the Kuomintang wins the 2022 county and city mayor election can it have the opportunity to win the 2024 Taiwan leadership election. Only when the Kuomintang wins the election for leaders in Taiwan can the situation in the Taiwan Strait change.
Ma Ying-jeou also said that this time he came to participate in the oath-taking establishment meeting of the election support group was to create an atmosphere of unity and struggle, so that the Kuomintang could win the most seats in the "nine-in-one" election. He also said that the DPP has many problems in the past six years of power on the island.
On September 25, Ma Ying-jeou also strongly criticized the DPP's rebellious actions when he went to Tainan to assist in the election. He said that since the DPP came to power six years ago, the public was in a state of grievances, and there was no sign of any change, and he called on supporters to "removal of the DPP" on November 26.
In fact, compared with the Ma Ying-jeou period, the current situation in the Taiwan Strait is indeed very tense. Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power in 2016, she has refused to recognize "11 Consensus ", accelerating collusion with external forces, and using the hard-earned money of the Taiwanese people to fawn on the foreign countries, resulting in constant tension in the cross-strait situation. It can be said that the DPP bears a significant responsibility for the current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Wu Dunyi said that during the 2018 "nine-in-one" election, he served as the chairman of the Kuomintang, fought a beautiful battle, won 15 county and city mayors and 19 county and city speakers seats, and even won the Kaohsiung mayor election. Wu Dunyi believes that the DPP is more inappropriate than in 2018, and the election situation is more beneficial to the Kuomintang. But the most important thing about the election is not victory or defeat, but to allow the Taiwanese people to live a good life. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait should also interact peacefully and have friendly exchanges.
Judging from the current election situation, the Kuomintang does have a certain advantage, and the DPP’s “reverse actions” have aroused dissatisfaction among the Taiwanese people. It is also worth noting that in the list of deputy leaders, in addition to the current vice chairman such as winning streak and Xia Liyan, former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu , which means that Han Kuo-yu mayor mayor and city council candidates in Taiwan by the end of 2022. The Kuomintang stated that Han Kuo-yu had a consensus to help the Kuomintang win the best results and agreed to be included in the list.
Former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu has been living in seclusion since he was dismissed, but he still has a certain appeal in the political arena on the island, and all political camps on the island are also paying great attention to his every move. Regarding the appearance of Han Kuo-yu on the KMT's list of assisting the election, Hong Mengkai, chairman of the Kuomintang's Cultural and Communication Association, who serves as the CEO of the electoral group, said that the KMT had asked Han Kuo-yu about his own opinions before releasing the list, and he agreed to include it in the list. This means that if the Kuomintang candidates of various counties and cities on the island are invited to be elected, Han Kuo-yu is likely to show up to support him.
However, due to the long silence, it is entirely worth observing what kind of political energy Han Kuo-yu can play.
The establishment of the Kuomintang’s election support group and the gathering of party leaders mark the climax of the “nine-in-one” election on the island. For the Kuomintang, the election in the next two months will be very critical. The victory or defeat of this “nine-in-one” election is not only related to the victory or defeat of the Kuomintang in the local election, but also closely related to the 2024 Taiwan leadership election.
