The Blue Green Camp has recently been actively planning the 2022 mayoral election. The Kuomintang recently nominated Zhang Shanzheng, the former president of the executive, to run for the mayor of Taoyuan. Chairman Zhu Lilun said that he would make “the DPP’s position in chaos.” They mightn’t agree. “It seems that the Kuomintang itself is in chaos.”
Last week, Zhu Lilun suddenly recruited Zhang Shanzheng to run for Taoyuan, and boasted that he “proposed the best talents and caused chaos in the DPP’s position”. Zhang Shanzheng also said that starting today, he will start to go to every corner of Taoyuan. Whether it is the speaker, legislators, or councilors, they will call and visit one by one, expressing their expressions to Taoyuan City Speaker Qiu Yisheng, Legislator Lu Yuling, and former Taipei City Councilor Luo Zhiqiang Sincerity, don’t worry regarding being closed.
However, Huang Weihan pointed out that the speaker quit the group, moved out of the city party office, might not answer the phone, and might not see anyone, and even Zhang Shanzheng announced to the media that his trip to visit Speaker Qiu Yisheng at 11 a.m. this morning was directly cancelled.
Qiu Yisheng believes that Zhang Shanzheng sent a media notice saying that he was going to visit the chairman of the conference without having an appointment at all.
Huang Weihan said that Zhang Shanzheng, who was all getting on the bus to Taoyuan, was refused to meet, so he had to cancel the trip and return to Taipei halfway.
