In the 8th District of Taichung City Legislative Council (Fengyuan, Dongshi, Shigang, Xinshe, and Heping District), the current KMT legislator Jiang Qichen is seeking a fourth term, while the DPP is recruiting City Councilor Hsieh Chih-chung, who has won five consecutive terms, to challenge. In fact, both parties have fought in They had faced each other in 2016, and Xie Zhizhong lost by only more than 1,000 votes. The two heroes faced off again eight years later. The basic blue of this constituency is greater than the green. He Zhiyong, who was the deputy director of the International Department of the Kuomintang and the spokesman of the Kuomintang, bluntly said that Jiang Qichen, who has the advantage of being an incumbent, has a greater chance of winning, but Xie Zhizhong works hard at the grassroots and vows to get back the 1% of votes he lost before. Xie Zhizhong criticized Jiang for “blocking submarines and submarines for national defense,” but Jiang Qichen focused on the construction card and dealt with opponents’ attacks coldly.
The Eighth District has been dominated by the Kuomintang for many years. Jiang Qichen has been reelected as a legislator for three terms after taking over from former legislator Xu Zhongxiong. This time he is seeking a fourth consecutive hegemony. His grassroots strength is stable, whether it is land warfare or air warfare. Issue marketing is Jiang Qichen’s strength. It will not be easy for the DPP to challenge him.
He Zhiyong said, “Jiang Qichen is not an easy opponent to fight because he is a well-known legislator in the country.” He said that in addition, Jiang Qichen was also the chairman of the Kuomintang Party and has experience in handling party affairs, so Jiang Qichen also has the “hen hen belt” “Little Chicken” ability, whether it is registration or vote scanning, can lead other young candidates in the party. He Zhiyong said, “Generally speaking, it is the presidential candidates of each party who lead the chickens, but Jiang Qichen can be both a hen and a candidate.” This can be said to have added a lot of help to the KMT election.
In 2016, Xie Zhizhong challenged Jiang Qichen, with only a slight difference of more than 1,000 votes. The green camp was very disappointed. After 8 years, he made a comeback. Xie Zhizhong had the backing of being re-elected as a city councilor for five terms, and his grassroots strength was also quite solid. The council’s political performance, service to the people and hard work have been well received. Xie Zhizhong believes that as long as we can “stabilize Fengyuan’s natal district and work hard to draw a tie with our opponents in the other four districts of the mountain city, we have strong confidence to win back the glory of the DPP.” According to Green Camp analysis, Jiang Qichen received 44.8%, 49.6%, and 59.03% of the votes for three consecutive terms. The number of votes increased from 69,000 to 94,000. It was classified as a “difficult constituency” by the DPP. However, because he only lost 1,475 votes in the last battle, this time Be optimistic about “Fight Again”.
He Zhiyong believes that when the two fought against each other in 2016, Xie Zhizhong defeated Jiang Qichen in Fengyuan, and Jiang relied on other areas to come back. The final gap between the two was only 1%. He Zhiyong said that when Jiang Qichen narrowly won, he said, “I can’t be happy. ”. Compared to 2016, the Kuomintang’s column-changing turmoil turned into a “garbage time” of disappointment for many blue camp supporters. Many people had no intention to vote. As a result, the Kuomintang lost the presidential election that year and even the legislators collapsed. He pointed out that whether the presidential election is hot or not will affect the turnout, so the legislative election will be affected by the presidential election. However, this year’s blue election, he believes that “there is suspense and there is a fight.”
