Summary of article:
After the intervention of Jiang Wannan, Lu Shiyuan, Lai Qingde and other big names, the Beshi election has been elevated from a capital battle to a frontline battle for the next president, and the basic direction of the election may change.
In charge of the battle for Taipei mayor is Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Lai Ching-teshen boyang Honorary Chairman, and created an “Ocean Stream” to attack the current mayorxiang wannan And Chiang found a popular candidate for president in the blue campLu Xiuyan Having served as campaign chairman to support the campaign, the electoral situation has undoubtedly become the focus of this election, with the support of big names from both parties. It remains to be seen whether the election in the northern city will move from a “battle for the capital” to a front-line battle for the next president, and whether it will have an impact on the sea current.
When Jiang Wannan was leading in the elections by a huge margin, such a development was unexpected. However, due to the current situation and Shen Boyang’s media interview, Jiang Wannan’s election situation changed dramatically. His accumulated prestige was challenged and his electoral position was also affected.
It is indeed unprecedented that the current mayor of Taichung will help the mayor of Taipei in the election campaign and serve as chairman of the general election, but as Lu Xiuyan said, “the capital is very important.” It is the head of the six capitals and according to its indicator status, it is important for the development of Taiwan and Taipei. This is why the Democratic Progressive Party wants to attack first even if it is not optimistic, and the leader of the party personally serves as the honorary chairman of the general election.
Election campaigning is changing rapidly. There is still more than a month before the voting, as can be seen from the change in Chiang Wannan’s election position. Lu Xiuyan’s popularity was once questioned after he failed to take over as party chairman. However, as she adhered to the municipal government and successfully achieved municipal results, in addition to Jiang Qichen’s electoral stability, her personal momentum also increased, and she was able to play the role of a hen to help her comrades.
In fact, as Jiang Wannan said, he often consulted privately with Lu Xiuyan about his municipal administration experience, and the two parties communicated closely. At the press conference where she was invited to serve as chairperson, Lu Xiuyan and her companions on stage were all wearing the same jeans and white tops. It can be seen that this is Lu Xiuyan’s style. It can also be seen that Lu has long been associated with and respected Chiang Kai-shek and the young legislators in Taipei’s blue camp, and has long fled the central joint governance circle.
No one can predict political changes. Of course, wise politicians will no longer talk about 2028, but will ask everyone to focus their attention on 2026 first. This is indeed the case. If there is no 2026 then where will 2028 come from? However, with the involvement of Lu Hsiu-yen’s elements, the Taipei city election has gradually become a front-line battle for the next president. Whether the qualitative change in the election campaign will affect the ocean current, or whether it will actually increase election sentiment and heat the ocean current, is worthy of further observation.
