The Kuomintang "replaced" the first shot, and the "legislators" of the Guo faction proposed that the support rate continue to decline and they will be replaced.
In 2015, in order to ensure the victory of candidate Hong Xiuzhu, the chairman of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun, set up an "anti-brick clause" that would replace him if his approval rating fell below 15 percent.
However, this clause was applied at the Kuomintang National Congress in July of that year, and Hong Xiuzhu was replaced. But after replacing Hong Xiuzhu, no Kuomintang bigwig was willing to run for election, and Zhu Lilun had no choice but to go into battle in person, and only won more than 3 million votes.
Since then, Zhu Lilun's political prospects have begun to decline, and he has changed from a rising star of the Kuomintang to a vote poison. Now, Hou's approval rating has dropped to 17 percent, and people within the KMT are panicking.
In particular, the KMT's "legislator" candidates, such as Luo Zhiqiang, Zhang Sigang, and You Shuhui, are preparing to invite Ke Wenzhe as their auxiliary candidate.
Recently, Chen Yuzhen, a "legislator" of Kinmen County of the Kuomintang, proposed that if Hou Youyi's approval rating drops to 15 percent, the Kuomintang should re-establish the "anti-brick clause" and look for new candidates.
Chen Yuzhen has been supporting Guo Taiming to represent the Kuomintang in 2024** before the Kuomintang officially nominated Hou Youyi, but after nominating Hou Youyi, Zhu Lilun held a unity meeting for Hou Youyi.
There are two reasons why Chen Yuzhen supports Guo Taiming, one is that Guo issued a "peace declaration" in Kinmen, and the other is that during the "four referendums" of the blue-green duel in 2021, Chen Yuzhen repeatedly begged Hou Youyi to express his position, but Hou Youyi resolutely said that "the years are quiet" and did not support the position of the Kuomintang.
Hou Youyi's predicament is completely self-inflicted, and has nothing to do with others. In order to nominate Hou Youyi, Zhu Lilun has already made Guo Taiming feel unhappy. The Kuomintang and Hou Youyi's team carried out a moral kidnapping of Han Kuo-yu, and Han Kuo-yu did not support this.
In the 2020 Taiwan leadership election, Hou Youyi not only did not support Han Kuo-yu, but also refused to serve as the chairman of the New Taipei City of the Korean campaign. Now, the Kuomintang and Hou Youyi want to cry and unite in order to defeat ***
But judging from Hou Youyi's current approval rating, is it necessary for Han Yu to support him?Hou Youyi's approval rating has dropped to 17 percent, and anyone's support could have a negative impact on his image, while also having no chance of winning.
According to six polls, Hou Youyi's approval rating is third, with a high of 23% and a low of 17%, in which case the KMT's chances of winning 2024 are very slim unless Hou Youyi is replaced.
Terry Gou, Han Kuo-yu and Lu Xiuyan are all potential ** people, but Lu Xiuyan may be more inclined to consider running after stepping down as mayor of Taichung, and there is uncertainty about whether Han Kuo-yu is willing to run again.
All things considered, Guo Taiming is actively preparing for energy policy and does not seem to have given up his intention to run for election. Even if the KMT does not replace Hou Youyi, Guo may run independently.
Looking forward to your opinions, will the Kuomintang have the possibility of "changing the Hou"?If there is a "change of candidates", will the candidates be Lu Xiuyan, Zhu Lilun, Guo Taiming or Han Kuo-yu?
