Recently, 22 counties and cities in Taiwan held inauguration ceremonies for county mayors. The inauguration of the new Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has received a lot of attention, and Ke Wenzhe, who has been the mayor of Taipei for 8 years, will also prepare for the 2024 election. As the leader of the third party in Taiwan besides the Chinese Kuomintang and the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party, whether People's Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe can make a difference in the 2024 election will, to some extent, set the tone for the future development of the People's Party.
Jiang Wanan was officially inaugurated as the mayor of Taipei
At the handover ceremony of the mayor of Taipei, the outgoing mayor Ko Wenzhe handed over his seal to the new mayor Chiang Wanan who took office. In his speech, Jiang Wanan said that he would focus on four priority directions after taking office. The first is to focus on restarting after the epidemic, and the second is to retain talents for Taipei City. In addition, promoting smart construction and promoting Taipei's local characteristics will also be the focus of his follow-up work. Facing the complicated municipal work, Jiang Wanan's proactive attitude of eagerness to try also won the praise of former mayor Ke Wenzhe.
At the ceremony that day, Ke Wenzhe did not forget to share his experience in serving. Ke Wenzhe said that faced with complex municipal governments, we often encounter difficulties. Every time he would ask, if we look back 50 years from now, how will we make decisions now? With this idea in mind, many times everyone knows how to make decisions.
Ke Wenzhe prepares for 2024
Looking back on the eight years that Ke Wenzhe has been the mayor of Taipei, when he first came into people's view as a famous doctor at National Taiwan University, Ke Wenzhe also had a very high approval rate, but the subsequent situation did not prevent from going up and down . The reason is that the peaceful political party represented by Ke is not popular in the island's political environment.
It is rumored that Ke Wenzhe intends to impact the 2024 election, which is a big challenge for him and even the People's Party. Unlike the well-established Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party, the People's Party, as the third political arena on the island, is ultimately a small party. With Ko Wenzhe losing this important political stage in Taipei City, whether he can make a difference in the 2024 general election, even if he ultimately fails to succeed in the election and becomes the nominal leader, if he can win a good "ranking", this will also be of great benefit to the future development of the People's Party.
When asked whether he was preparing for 2024, Ke Wenzhe responded with "(Just keep a) normal mind". The seemingly indifferent response does not mean that Ke Wenzhe has no idea about the leadership position in Taiwan. On the contrary, 2024 is also an opportunity that Ke Wenzhe must seize.
