Cheng Li-wen Labeled 'Box Office Poison' as Wang Jin-pyng Defends Her, Candidates Focus on Local Issues

Nationalist Party legislator Cheng Li-wen is facing mounting criticism, with recent polls indicating a record high in public distrust. This has led to her being labeled a "box office poison" as the year-end local elections approach.

“

The voices from the outside, Cheng Li-wen will hear them all. She will adjust as needed and appropriately understand the situation. I believe Cheng Li-wen is a highly intelligent leader.

However, former Legislative Yuan President Wang Jin-pyng offered a measured response, suggesting Cheng would heed external voices and adjust her approach. He expressed confidence in her leadership, calling her a "highly intelligent leader."

Responding to Wang's comments, Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng and KMT Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Chih-en both stressed the paramount importance of individual candidates in local elections. Chang stated that candidate qualities are what voters should focus on, highlighting the efforts of Ke and other local representatives.

“

The most important thing in local elections is the candidate themselves!

Ke Chih-en, who is campaigning in Kaohsiung, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that local elections should prioritize local development, social welfare, and care for different age groups. She announced upcoming campaign events, including a large support rally and a series of public talks, to articulate her vision for Kaohsiung's future.

President Wang is speaking the truth. The elections at the end of the year should still focus on how local areas can develop further. This completely echoes President Wang.
