In the 2022 county mayor election, the candidates for Kaohsiung and Taoyuan City of the Kuomintang have not yet been decided, and there have been many discussions within the party. Who should challenge the current mayor Chen Qimai in the Kaohsiung mayoral election? Gao Jinsumei, the legislator who was named earlier, has stated that he is unwilling. Seeing that there has been no progress in the Blue Camp, psychiatrist Su Weishuo recently said that if everyone is so “kind”, he is willing to take the initiative to recommend himself.
In the Kaohsiung mayoral election campaign, Gao Jin Sumei stated in February that she “will not run for the mayor of Kaohsiung”, and Taipei City Councilor Luo Zhiqiang intends to go deep into the grassroots of Taoyuan. Tong Yanzhen, the leader of the Kaohsiung City Council of the Kuomintang, said recently that it is understood that party chairman Zhu Lilun has a list of candidates in mind. As for whether “this person” is willing to fight, everyone is still waiting.
According to a report by the media “TVBS” on the 27th, in order to seek possible candidates, Huang Jianting, secretary-general of the Kuomintang, went south to Kaohsiung before the New Year to discuss with the city council and the party group, and promised to propose a list by the end of March. The top party affairs leaders are interested in Li Sichuan, the former deputy mayor of Kaohsiung City, as the first candidate. They have met with Li Sichuan many times recently. However, Li Sichuan privately admitted that he is not very willing, and the Party Central Committee is still actively communicating and will not give up any possibility.
It is worth noting that Su Weishuo, a psychiatrist named by the People’s Party for Kaohsiung’s election in the past, expressed his unwillingness when asked about relevant questions in the past. They are all looking for candidates within the party, but if everyone is so “kind”, he is willing to take the initiative to recommend himself.
