Jiang Wanan, who has the halo of the "Jiang family" and has excellent education and experience, has always been affirmed by the outside world in Taiwan for his introverted and low-key personality, and as a senior legal person in the family, he is no stranger to politics.
In 2002, his father Jiang Xiaoyan participated in the election for the first time, Jiang Wanan personally helped his father in the election, and in 2008, when Jiang Xiaoyan was running for re-election, Jiang Wanan once went deep into the vegetable market and other places to sweep the streets and votes, and some stole his father's limelight.
In 2011, Jiang Xiaoyan unfortunately lost to Luo Shulei in the Kuomintang public opinion representative primary, and the legend of Jiang Wanan has just begun.
On March 29, 2015, just before the deadline for the election of Kuomintang representatives, Jiang Wanan officially registered, which also means that he will run in the third constituency of Taipei City, which is also called "Prince's Revenge" in Taiwan.
At that time, Jiang Wanan challenged Luo Shulei, the representative of public opinion, with the slogan of "young people stand up", and as a result, he also became the first person to devote himself to the descendants of the Jiang family.
In his view, young people should stand up on behalf of new forces, and at a time when the KMT's momentum is in a downturn, they should assume the responsibility of becoming long-term party members, inject a new atmosphere into the KMT, and let all those who love the KMT regain confidence.
In the face of the outside world's evaluation of his "prince's revenge", Jiang Wanan said that the opponent Luo Shulei is a respectable predecessor, and what they want to do is a battle between a gentleman and a lady, and he himself is not a prince, let alone revenge.
After intense competition and competition, on January 16, 2016, Jiang Wanan won 46With 86% of the votes, he was elected as the 9th National People's Congress, which also wrote a new chapter in the political history of the Chiang family.
You must know that the Kuomintang was severely damaged by its opponents in the "two-in-one" election at that time, and lost its position as the largest party in both the ruling power and the legislature, but Jiang Wanan, a political amateur, was able to retain such a precious seat of popular representative for the blue camp in the third constituency of Taipei City, which is very rare in itself.
Since then, he has become recognized as the rising star of the younger generation of the Kuomintang with his fledgling proud record and outstanding qualifications, and the legend continues.
At that time, he would be the future candidate for mayor of Taipei of the Kuomintang, and at first, Jiang Wanan did not respond to this speculation, only emphasizing his future work plan.
In his mouth, as a representative of the new branch of public opinion, he will spend more time studying materials and rules of procedure, promoting bills to supervise the executive branch, and taking care of a large number of grievance service cases and activity schedules.
Since everyone elected me as the representative of the people's will, I will play this role well!”
In September 2017, Jiang Wanan was elected as a member of the National Committee, and since then, all walks of life in Taiwan have determined that he will be a popular figure in the future Taipei mayoral election.
At the end of 2021, Taiwan's "nine-in-one election" gradually heated up, among them, the election of Taipei mayor was the most eye-catching, although this election will only be held in November 2022, but the Kuomintang started the nomination process very early, and the outside world speculated again that Jiang Wanan is very likely to qualify.
At that time, Jiang Wanan was about to complete six years as a representative of public opinion, and in the face of the election situation of Taipei City, which had a large number of voters and high autonomy, he was indeed a mayoral candidate with a fresh image and good character, and he was very competitive in all aspects.
There is only one point, the issue of Jiang Wanan's ancestry as a descendant of the Jiang family has always been a controversial topic for political opponents to talk about.
After all, in the June 2020** "Chiang Ching-kuo's Diary", it was shown that Chiang Ching-kuo revealed that Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaoci's brothers were not his biological children, but in the eyes of historians, this is just a pretext for Chiang Ching-kuo to be afraid that his father would find out about his extramarital affair.
Jiang Wanan did not dwell too much in the face of bloodline questions, he only said in an interview that the word "Wan'an" in his name was given by Jiang Jingguo back then, which means "always remember the ancestral hometown of Wan'an, Jiangxi, and never forget the original".
On May 25, 2022, the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang officially made a nomination, and Jiang Wanan ran for mayor of Taipei.
On November 10, 2022, just two weeks before **, Jiang Wanan officially resigned as the representative of the Taipei people.
Living up to expectations, on November 26, in the local elections in Taiwan Province, Jiang Wanan was successfully elected mayor of Taipei City.
Since then, many people have been more willing to extend Jiang Wanan's so-called "prince's revenge" to help the Kuomintang usher in a new transformation and rebirth, which is more like his family mission as a descendant of the Chiang family.
Looking back at Jiang Wanan's growth history, if you have to call him a "prince", his style is more like the evaluation of friends and **.
Shy, slightly serious and famous, aristocratic blood, commoner soul. ”
To say that this legal talent who has studied in the United States and has been in Silicon Valley for many years must have a more far-sighted pattern and courage than local politicians in Taiwan at many levels, and his legend is worth looking forward to!
