(Central News Agency reporter Chen Chun-hua, Taipei, 30th) The Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) jointly nominated a candidate for New Taipei City Mayor, with former Taipei Deputy Mayor Lee Sze-chuan winning the poll. TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang said that he only received the complete poll report today. Although he won among young people, he "lost completely" among those over 60, stating, "Others have more than double our support."
The KMT and TPP jointly nominated a candidate for the New Taipei City mayoral election, and the poll results were announced on the 28th, with KMT-nominated Lee Sze-chuan winning. The first polling company's results showed that if Lee Sze-chuan represented the KMT-TPP alliance, he would win with 34% against Su Chiao-hui's 28.5%; if Huang Kuo-chang represented the alliance, Huang Kuo-chang would get 28.1% and Su Chiao-hui 31.3%. The second polling company's results showed Lee Sze-chuan winning with 36.3% against Su Chiao-hui's 24.5%; Huang Kuo-chang with 28.3% against Su Chiao-hui's 26.7%.
Huang Kuo-chang stated in an interview with host Chien Yi-chun on the "POP Grand Citizen" program that he only received the complete report of the New Taipei City mayoral primary poll today. From it, he could see that the TPP won among young people, "but among those over 60, we lost completely, a very, very big difference."
Huang Kuo-chang showed the report from the first polling company during the program. The structure presented was consistent with the trend of past TPP polls. In terms of gender, he lost among female supporters. Among young people, whether 20-29 or 30-39, he actually won, and by a lot; but he lost among those over 50, and "lost completely" among those over 60, stating, "Others have more than double our support."
Regarding how to assist Lee Sze-chuan in the future, Huang Kuo-chang said that after Lee Sze-chuan won the primary poll, Lee Sze-chuan is the protagonist, and everything should revolve around the protagonist. After Lee Sze-chuan's campaign headquarters, team, and rhythm are all arranged, he will do his best in whatever is needed, without offering too many suggestions at the beginning.
Chien Yi-chun asked if Huang Kuo-chang, who once said he really wanted to run but didn't have a suitable battlefield, would have other election plans in the future. Huang Kuo-chang said that he didn't have much time to be discouraged or disheartened in the past two days, as he was reviewing the TPP's nomination status nationwide.
Chien Yi-chun further asked if it was possible to find another battlefield, for example, many people mentioned Huang Kuo-chang running for Changhua County Magistrate; Huang Kuo-chang replied that Changhua is already chaotic enough, "I still have a dark horse in Changhua, you wait and see, of course, it's from the TPP."
