Taipei by-election candidates stump in final-week push before election
Taipei by-election candidates stump in final-week push before election
2023-01-02
It’s the final six days before the Taipei legislative by-election, and candidates were out in full force Monday. DPP candidate Enoch Wu stumped from a campaign truck, while his KMT rival Wang Hung-wei spoke on stage about her campaign platform. Meanwhile, Wu yesterday told reporters that his position on relations with China is compatible with that of Vice President Lai Ching-te, and that he ultimately seeks to promote regional peace.
With a week to go before the Taipei by-election, DPP candidate Enoch Wu was out canvassing from a campaign truck. DPP Taipei City Councilor Chen E-jun accompanied Wu for part of the day, and fellow councilor Hsu Shu-hua joined him later, as he took to the streets in the northern part of Songshan District.
Before boarding the campaign truck, Wu took the campaign online with a livestream. Meanwhile, his KMT rival Wang Hung-wei held a more solemn event, speaking to supporters from a stage where she was joined by KMT Chair Eric Chu.

This great mother and councilor is about to take her place in the legislature, where she will be a great mother and legislator.
Wang took the opportunity to speak on her campaign policy, promising to return tax money to residents.

The government has reported a tax surplus, and not just over the past two years, so we propose paying money back to the residents. We are very happy by the response to the issue across party lines.

I have also called for this in the past. The most effective way to share this money with the public is through cash subsidies. This is also what the public hopes for.
Wang has increasingly had the support of top KMT party members, but Wu appears unfazed by this, saying that top DPP members will join him in the coming days.

Our acting party chair, and our prospective party chair, are expected to join me this week. They will canvass together with me.
Wu also spoke on his China views, and related them to those of Vice President Lai Ching-te.

My personal stance is to oppose the Chinese Communist Party and promote the protection of Taiwan. The one currently threatening regional safety and impacting the universal value of democracy is the CCP. The goal of opposing the CCP and seeking to protect Taiwan is to maintain peace. This is not at odds with Vice President’s Lai’s stance of promoting peace and the protection of Taiwan. I simply hope to be more precise in my wording, because it isn’t the Chinese people I oppose, it’s the CCP, which violates democratic values, that I oppose.
Wu said that ultimately his stance, like that of Lai, is to promote peace.

選戰倒數6天，民進黨台北市立委補選候選人吳怡農，今天啟動首次車隊掃街，分別由同黨市議員陳怡君與許淑華，掃遍大街小巷。國民黨的對手王鴻薇找來國民黨主席朱立倫，與台中市長盧秀燕同台造勢。
選前黃金週，吳怡農啟動首次車掃，先由市議員陳怡君陪掃中山區，接著再由另一位市議員許淑華陪同，挺進北松山。
上戰車前不忘開直播，吳怡農陸戰、空戰齊發。國民黨對手王鴻薇，則是請出主席牌。

“這位最好的媽媽議員，即將要進入立法院，成為最好的媽媽立委”
王鴻薇再提「還稅於民」話題。

“事實上我們政府的超徵，不是只有這兩年的事情，所以這次我們提出還稅於民，非常高興朝野不分黨派立委都來呼應”

“我之前也呼籲了，全民共享最直接最有效率的方式，就是透過現金的補助，這也是社會大眾的期待”
看到國民黨對手王鴻薇，頻頻找大咖加持，吳怡農並不擔心，因為最後衝刺期，黨內大咖將陸續到位。

“我們現任的代理主席以及準主席，預計都會在這個禮拜，一起來陪同，一起來拜票”
吳怡農也強調他的反共立場和賴副總統的"和平保台"論述，殊途同歸。

“我自己的主張一向是反共保台，現在威脅區域安全，影響所有普世民主價值的是中國共產黨，反共保台的目的是要維持和平，(跟和平保台)沒有衝突，我們希望用詞更精準，原因是不與中國人民對抗，反對的是違反民主價值的中國共產黨”
吳怡農強調，兩個主張的目標都是和平。
