New Taipei mayoral candidate Lin Jialong of the Democratic Progressive Party kept asking New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi to sign the letter of commitment of “Doing a Good Job”, but said he was confident of winning the election and was unwilling to sign the letter of commitment “Not to join the cabinet following losing the election”, New Taipei City Councilor Ye Yuanzhi 18 Japan fought back. Former DPP legislator Yao Wenzhi ran for mayor of Taipei 4 years ago. In order to show his determination, he promised to quit the political arena following losing the election. He pointed out that Lin Jialong’s style is far inferior to Yao Wenzhi, and questioned that he had already negotiated the conditions for “entering the cabinet following losing the election”. .
Ye Yuanzhi mentioned in a post on Facebook on the 18th that the reason why Lin Jialong was asked to sign the letter of commitment “Not to enter the cabinet following losing the election” was because Lin Jialong said not long ago that he would not run for the mayor of New Taipei 24 times, but he suddenly ran for the election once more. He has already negotiated the conditions for entering the cabinet following losing the election. If he is confident of winning the election, “Why should you be afraid to sign the letter of commitment? It’s just a guilty conscience to leave a way out for yourself. In fact, he himself knows that he won’t be elected, and he’s stubborn. It’s a shame! “
Ye Yuanzhi’s move Four years ago, Yao Wenzhi represented the DPP to run for mayor of Taipei. In order to show his determination, he promised to retire from politics following losing the election. He believed that Lin Jialong’s style was far inferior to Yao Wenzhi’s. He said that the game of signing the letter of commitment was initiated by Lin Jialong himself. Every day, Hou Youyi was required to sign the letter of commitment for “Do It Well”, but Lin Jialong was required to sign the letter of commitment for “Not to enter the cabinet following losing the election”, but he was too late to sign it.
Ye Yuanzhi criticized: “It’s just a double standard, with super thick skin, and a ruffian, who will be knocked down when he sees it.” He also emphasized that the DPP has many precedents for entering the cabinet following losing elections. Executive President Su Zhenchang lost previously Hou Youyi, the mayor of New Taipei City, received 290,000 votes, but following the election, he was elected to the cabinet and became the prefect of Hou Youyi.
