Kuomintang Legislator Lai Shih-bao announced his withdrawal from the Legislative Yuan caucus election yesterday, which sparked heated discussions, and for rumors that he would withdraw from the election because he had no chance of winning and was afraid of losing to Fu Laiqing, he refuted it in an interview today, bluntly saying that he would win no matter how the votes were counted, and also revealed that Fu Laiqing had called him **, but he did not receive it.
After announcing his withdrawal from the election, Lai Shibao was interviewed today and talked about the reasons for his withdrawal for the first time, and the rumors pointed out that the reason why Lai Shibao decided to withdraw was because he was worried that he would lose to Fu Laiqing after counting the votes, and he refuted it, saying that he would win no matter how the votes were counted: "Yesterday, there was also a very senior big party whip that also beat me **, you will win, why don't you choose." ”
Lai Shih-pao stressed that the reason why he decided to withdraw from the election was because a re-elected or new legislator called him to express that voting was painful and difficult to choose, and at the same time, the other party revealed that Fu Laiqing also continued to canvass for votes, suggesting that the two could negotiate, after all, they are all brothers and sisters who have a friendship. And he believes that if winning the general call will lead to a rift within the Kuomintang, which will affect the voting of the president and vice president, this will be a worse situation.
During the interview, Lai Shibao also revealed that Fu Laiqing had called him, but he didn't receive it, and asked if he had called back, but he admitted that he didn't receive it, but he didn't call back later.
Lai Shibao finally said that he decided to withdraw from the election, there was no quid pro quo or any promise from the other party, and at present, let Fu Laiqing do it first, and ask Fu Laiqing to confront Ke Jianming.
