KMT Taipei City Councilor Xu Qiaoxin called out “alteration of generations” to challenge the senior KMT legislator Fei Hongtai who has won the 4th consecutive hegemony, and Taipei City Councilor Xu Hongting also intends to challenge the 5th consecutive hegemony legislator Lai Shibao again, but some blue camp election staff think these two It is hard to shake, especially Xu Hongting’s results in this local election are mediocre. To say that someone who has the ability to threaten Lai Shibao has to be Luo Zhiqiang who won the highest votes of 40,391 votes in Taipei City as a rookie for the first time in the election.
Fei Hongtai and Lai Shibao have strong local strengths. Although they are both from the New Party, after returning to the Kuomintang, the legislators who were in power during the Kuomintang period were able to crush their opponents by multiples. During the election campaign, he held the line of defense for the Kuomintang for many years.
For Fei Hongtai, he first survived the opposition integration between the DPP and Yang Shiqiu in 2016, and he also survived the challenge of Xu Shuhua, a senior member of the DPP, in 2020; for Lai Shibao, he also blocked the DPP in 2016. Li Qingyuan, who won votes in 2020, crushed Ruan Zhaoxiong of the Democratic Progressive Party.
However, apart from Xu Qiaoxin, who was awarded the title of “God of the Blue Camp”, whose voice and strength are enough to challenge Fei Hongtai, Xu Hongting, who did not perform well in the parliamentary election last year, may not be able to shake Lai Shibao’s position. In the parliamentary election campaign, Xu Hongting even lost votes to Lai Shibao’s non-party member Bing Zeng Xianying, making it hard to be optimistic about Xu Hongting.
The one who really has enough strength in Wenshan District and can barely be regarded as the next generation is Luo Zhiqiang, the voice king of the Kuomintang who has temporarily lost the stage. However, some party officials believe that although Zhu Lilun owed Luo Zhiqiang, it is not an exaggeration to give a seat regardless of division in 2024, but Luo Zhiqiang is a warrior, and 2024 will definitely have his battlefield, and will not be used to challenge people with his own family constituency.
A local election general in Wenshan District also commented that Luo Zhiqiang is “exceeding but not inferior” to Xu Qiaoxin’s KMT titan. Last year, he was defeated by Chiang Wan-an for the mayor of Taipei and lost in the nomination for mayor of Taoyuan. Although there is no next move It was announced, but Luo Zhiqiang’s Taipei City Councilor only served for one term and was handed over to Yang Zhidou. Before and after the 9-in-1 election campaign, there were actions in Taoyuan.
