The Taiwan gubernatorial election has made waves again, and the Kuomintang candidate is in a difficult situation.
Dear readers, welcome to Reading History. Next year's Taiwan gubernatorial election will once again attract attention, candidate Hou Youyi is facing poor polls, and the Kuomintang is in a difficult situation. This is reminiscent of a scene in 2016, when the Kuomintang staged a storm of changing columns. This year, whether the KMT will choose to replace the candidate again has become a hot topic.
In the current election, the polls of Kuomintang candidate Hou Youyi have continued to fall, and even fell to third. This could lead to the loss of supporters in Taiwan's elections, as the third-ranked candidate could face the fate of being discarded once a triumvirate is formed. Taiwanese voters tend to choose between second and third place to avoid electing the candidate they least like.
The "tragedy of changing columns" in the history of the Kuomintang
Looking back at the KMT's performance in Taiwan's gubernatorial election in 2016, the KMT faced the same predicament as it does today. The Kuomintang, which originally won quite a lot, seized the opportunity due to Ma Ying-jeou's weak image and internal contradictions in the later period of his administration. As the election approached, the bigwigs in the Kuomintang withdrew one after another and gave up their candidacy. These include Hao Longbin, who has two terms of experience as mayor of Taipei, Wu Dunyi, who has performed well in politics, and Zhu Lilun, a new generation.
At that time, the Taiwan gubernatorial election was originally a "sure win" game for the Kuomintang, but the successive abandonment of the bigwigs put the Kuomintang in an embarrassing situation. In the end, the KMT was anxious to find a suitable candidate, but it fell into the "tragedy of changing columns".
Hong Xiuzhu's bold move.
In the midst of the predicament at the time, a female politician, Hong Xiuzhu, stepped forward. In the face of the abandonment of the party bigwigs, she said that she could not let *** underestimate the Kuomintang, so she officially received the election on May 17, 2015. However, support for Hong Xiuzhu within the Kuomintang was not strong, and the bigwigs questioned her ability.
In order to overcome its internal difficulties, the KMT set a 30% poll support threshold, hoping to use this criterion to screen suitable candidates. However, unexpectedly, after two months of campaigning, Hong Xiuzhu successfully passed, which caught the KMT bigwigs, who had planned to put forward other candidates, by surprise.
The backlash of the column-changing turmoil.
Although Ms. Hong successfully passed the party's screening, she did not receive enough support during the election campaign. The bigwigs within the Kuomintang did not stand up for it clearly, and *** kept exaggerating her flaws, claiming that she was incompetent. Taiwanese voters' mentality about the interconnectedness of a strong governor with a representative of the people's will also troubled Mr. Hong.
Zhu Lilun's persuasion and the inevitability of changing columns.
The plight of Hong Xiuzhu within the Kuomintang became more and more obvious, and some bigwigs began to persuade her to withdraw from the election. Zhu Lilun proposed that if Hong Xiuzhu could take the initiative to announce his withdrawal from the election, he was willing to take over and let Hong Xiuzhu serve as his deputy. However, Hong Xiuzhu insisted that she would go down as she came up, and she thought that the party could abandon her, but she could not abandon the party.
In the face of Hong Xiuzhu's insistence, the Kuomintang held a congress on October 17, 2015, and found various reasons to directly replace the candidate. Zhu Lilun became the new candidate, but he claimed that the party recruited him, and he did not take the initiative. However, such a change of leadership has also created a negative impression on the KMT.
With the resurgence of the election, will the Kuomintang repeat the tragedy of changing columns?
Now, the KMT is once again in an election dilemma, and Hou Youyi's polls have continued to fall, triggering a lot of discussion. Faced with this situation, whether the KMT chooses to replace again has become the focus. However, the risk of a change of column remains, and the KMT must carefully consider the choice of candidates to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2016.
