The Kuomintang (KMT) faces a challenging election in Changhua County, with local party members expressing concern over candidate Wei Ping-cheng's campaign. A key factor in their strategy is securing the active participation of Changhua County Magistrate Wang Hui-mei, considered the party's "strongest mother hen" by grassroots supporters.

However, Wang Hui-mei's involvement in Wei Ping-cheng's campaign has been hampered by lingering disagreements with KMT Chairman Cheng Li-wen, stemming from the nomination process. This internal friction has reportedly led Wang Hui-mei to miss three scheduled meetings with Cheng Li-wen, causing unease within the party.

Local KMT figures revealed that Wei Ping-cheng's campaign is struggling, and they are anxiously awaiting a specific day when Wang Hui-mei will fully commit to supporting the campaign. The hope is that her visible and genuine return to the campaign trail will significantly boost Wei Ping-cheng's prospects in the closely watched Changhua County race.
