(Reporter Su Shengyi/Report from Taipei) The Democratic Progressive Party was defeated in the 9-in-1 election. The entire army of counties and cities in the north of Yunlin was wiped out. Only the 4 counties and cities in the south and the head of Penghu County were retained. Party Chairman Tsai Ing-wen resigned to be responsible for the defeat. The 2024 by-election of the party leader, which is an important task in the layout of the auxiliary election, has become the focus of various factions. “Ling Media” has exclusive information. Recognize” and politely asked high-level opinions. During the meeting, everyone agreed that the party leader should be succeeded by the Mesozoic generation, but still suggested that Zheng Wencan should also consult other factions to settle differences first.
The Democratic Progressive Party suffered a major defeat and lost the ruling power in the three counties of Keelung, Taoyuan, and Hsinchu in northern Taiwan. Taoyuan lost 130,000 votes. The DPP did not expect it. It continued the aura of five-star governance but failed to win the favor of voters. Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan appeared at Zheng Yunpeng’s ballot counting site on the 26th with a solemn expression. Facing the election results, he said, “Facing the final choice of the citizens, accept the results of the election with humility.”
On the 27th, Zheng Yunpeng thanked the ticket and swept the street but did not see Zheng Wencan. On Monday and Tuesday, he did not disclose his itinerary. Zheng Wencan rarely kept a low profile for 3 consecutive days. Zheng Wencan said that the overall layout of a political party is the most important thing to respond to the expectations of public opinion. The specific candidates of the cabinet “should have the best arrangements in the future.”
As for whether to fight for the party chairman, Zheng Wencan did not respond positively. He only emphasized that this arrangement should be able to meet the challenges of future presidential and legislative elections. I believe that following the DPP encounters setbacks, it will be able to respond carefully and objectively to public opinion.
As a heavyweight politician of the Mesozoic generation of the Democratic Progressive Party, Zheng Wencan, who is regarding to leave office, is concerned regarding whether his next step is to advance to the central government or take control of the party machine. “Ling Media” directly hit, on the followingnoon of the 28th, Hong Yaofu, Hong Yaonan, a major British player in the Beishi election campaign, Huang Chengguo, a member of the Central Standing Committee, and Chen Mingwen, a legislator, were at the “National Xiaoying Friends Association Friendship Association” next to the DPP Central Party Headquarters. “Office secret meeting. At regarding 4:30 in the followingnoon, Zheng Wencan suddenly appeared and stayed until regarding 9:00 in the evening before stepping out of the building and driving away.
It is understood that because this year’s election was really unexpected, in the followingnoon’s high-level secret meeting of the British Department, the topic touched on the gap between the organization and mobilization of Shuangbei and Taoyuan, the election vote counting, and the loss of votes. Faced with the situation within the party following the election, the members of the meeting also reached a consensus that the party must be united and not split, and the team must be re-examined quickly to have a chance to start once more. At this stage, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai is acting as the party chairman. The next party leadership competition is hopeful The factions that can go toward the government can push forward together, and don’t cause chaos and rifts due to factions competing for elections.
According to reports, Zheng Wencan, who appeared suddenly, stated that he “has the recognition and willingness to take on the overall situation”, and humbly asked the high-level officials of the British department for their opinions one by one. The British people who participated in the meeting believed that Zheng Wencan is not only an expert in communication and coordination within the party, but also one of the best in the party. The next party chairman will face the 2024 president, the nomination of legislators and the auxiliary election. Zheng Wencan is indeed The best candidate is also in line with the party’s call for succession from the Mesozoic generation. However, if he wants to assume the heavy responsibility of being the next party leader, he also needs the support of other factions. Therefore, it is suggested that Zheng Wencan should also consult other factions in the party.
It is worth noting that British legislators have joined auxiliary election teams in all parts of Nine-in-One Taiwan. They have not gathered for nearly half a year. A dinner meeting was held in Xiaoying’s office that evening. British legislators Zhuang Ruixiong, Guan Biling, Jiang Yongchang, Cai Yiyu, Su Zhifen, Liu Chaohao, Wu Yuqin, and the chairman’s special assistant, Chen Mingwen’s son Chen Guanting arrived one following another. Because Zheng Wencan was already in the office, the senior officials of the British Department also invited him to stay for dinner. Participants said that Zheng Wencan stayed for less than an hour, greeted the legislators present one by one, and cheered each other on. They can start once more, and the issue of party leader election will not be mentioned at the dinner party.
In 2018, the Democratic Progressive Party also lost the election due to the nine-in-one election. Tsai Ing-wen resigned as the party chairman. One of the party’s candidates for the by-election of the party chairman was named Zheng Wencan. However, Zheng considered his status as mayor and the city council During questioning, members of the opposition will question the chairman of the ruling party, and because of the busy municipal administration, there is no time for him to attend. Finally, following the meeting and discussion of the Mesozoic generation in the party, Zheng Wencan and others jointly recommended Zhuo Rongtai.
People familiar with the matter pointed out that Zheng Wencan will step down at the end of the year, and there will be no parliament to ask this question in the future. At the moment when the party needs to be reorganized and reorganized, it should be shouldered the heavy responsibility.
Although the British Department supports Zheng Wencan to assume the important role of party leader, but in 2018, following Tsai Ing-wen lost the nine-in-one election and handed over the party leader, Zhuo Rongtai became the party chairman in a by-election, but the subsequent “Cai Lai Controversy” was brutal, and the party still had lingering fears still exist. Zheng Wencan’s appearance at the time of the party’s crisis will become a thorn in the back of Lai Qingde’s 2024 ascension, and will become the key to the election of the left and right party leaders.
