The 2022 election battle is approaching, Kuomintang legislator Fu Kunqi accepted an exclusive interview with Huang Guangqin, host of “News Not Celery” of Zhen Media today (10th), to analyze the possibility that the DPP will send former Vice President Chen Jianren to replace Chen Shizhong in the Taipei mayoral election at the end of the year. . Fu Kunqi bluntly said that Chen Jianren is the “biggest trump card of the DPP”. If he runs for the mayor of Taipei, it will put Lanbai in a tough fight. If he runs for the mayor of New Taipei, he can also warm up for the 2024 direct attack on the presidential election.
Regarding Huang Guangqin’s question, Green Camp has been emphasizing Chen Jianren’s role recently, and there is even a message that Chen Jianren is ahead of Chen Shizhong in the polls. Fu Kunqi said that “the biggest trump card of the DPP” has come out, and he has been waiting for how the DPP Bei, Bei and Tao will play their cards. Fu then changed the subject and said that Russia and Ukraine are going to go to war, and Taiwan needs to defend both sides of the strait, and the front line has control. Why did Chen Jianren wait until 2 days before the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war to announce his participation in the DPP? Are you going to be mayor? Or is the training sword pointing at Lai Qingde? He is still watching how the DPP plays its cards.
Fu Kunqi said that the Kuomintang’s mayoral election layout in Bei, Bei and Tao is still waiting for the DPP. The Kuomintang has a large number of candidates and has sufficient time, and will definitely wait for the DPP to send troops first. The card that President Tsai Ing-wen believes most is Chen Jianren. If Tsai pushes Chen to choose the mayor of Taipei, it must be a hard fight, but if Chen Jianren is just to warm up for the 2024 presidential election, then Chen Jianren will go to choose New Taipei. He personally thinks the latter is more likely. If Chen Jianren chooses Taipei City, Chen Jianren will be 71 years old, and if he is the mayor of Taipei for two terms, he will be 80 years old. Therefore, he believes that Chen Jianren should be the DPP presidential candidate for 2024.
Fu Kunqi analyzed that the DPP may want to “eat two fish with one fish” and send Chen Jianren to elect New Taipei, so that Hou Youyi’s re-election will not be so easy, just like in the 2018 Taipei mayoral election, Ke Wenzhe “his feet are broken” first, not so easy. Let Ke Wenzhe take all the green camp votes to prevent Ke Wenzhe from directly attacking the 2020 president. He only poured the votes into Ke at the last minute that year, and let Ke only win 3,000 votes. The DPP’s strategy is really powerful.
Fu Kunqi also mentioned that the DPP’s top priority in this year’s election is not only in Taipei City, but the mayoral election in New Taipei may also be a live chess game for the DPP. As long as the DPP loses within 150,000 votes in New Taipei, Chen Jianren will be counted. The big victory will bring the military exploits and exposure for a whole year to attack the president. “It’s like if the gang wants to be popular, they will definitely pick the biggest opponent to fight, the strongest fight, so they will become famous the fastest”, pick the hardest bones for Chen Jianren , let Chen Jianren sacrifice his dedication first. If the DPP really plans this way, the intra-party fighting in the DPP in 2024 will be more intense than in 2020.
As for whether Chen Shizhong moved to Taoyuan? Fu Kunqi said that Chen Shizhong is also a live chess player of the DPP. Taoyuan has a relatively clan system, and there is almost no way to parachute. Whether it will send people by air in Taoyuan is still up for debate.
