Zhang Shanzheng is Taiwan's luckiest politician, and the Buddhist election can also win Zheng Yunpeng and sit on the throne of Taoyuan mayor. Zheng Wencan worked hard in Taoyuan City for 8 years, but was miserably killed by two "pig teammates". The fiercest battle between the Kuomintang and the DPP was Taoyuan City, which was won by Zhang Shanzheng. Looking at the entire election process of Zhang Shanzheng, it was basically smooth sailing. Kuomintang Chairman Zhu Lilun escorted him all the way and integrated local forces in Taoyuan to help him conduct elections.
On the other hand, on the DPP, Zheng Wencan has been working hard in Taoyuan City for 8 years, and his support rate has remained high. However, the DPP first nominated Lin Zhijian to run, and after withdrawing due to plagiarism in his paper, it launched Zheng Yunpeng. As a result, Zheng Yunpeng was exposed to do business on the mainland, which was incompatible with the mainstream of the DPP's "anti-China defense of Taiwan", and was even dubbed "China Peng". The two candidates of the DPP came out one after another, and Zheng Wencan's operation became useless. In the Taoyuan mayoral election, the DPP eventually lost 130,000 votes to the Kuomintang, suffering a crushing defeat.
Zhang Shanzheng used to be the head of Taiwan's administrative agency and partnered with Han Yu to participate in the Taiwanese leadership election in 2020. After the failure, Zhang Shanzheng returned to his hometown of Hualien to work as a farmer. After Zhu Lilun became chairman of the Kuomintang, he invited Zhang Shanzheng to serve as vice chairman of the Kuomintang think tank. When it came to the Taoyuan mayoral election, Zhu Lilun "insisted on going his own way" and insisted on nominating Zhang Shanzheng to run for mayor of Taoyuan. Throughout the election campaign, Zhang Shanzheng was simply a "Buddhist candidate" and was able to win in the end, thanks to the sedan chair carried by all the Kuomintang and the DPP.
In fact, until October, Zhang Shanzheng and Zheng Yunpeng's approval ratings were in a state of anxiety. By October 8, Qiu Yisheng and Lu Mingzhe were successful in South Taoyuan Zhongli, and on October 22, Wan Meiling was successful in North Taoyuan 2 games, and the support rate began to overtake their opponents. In addition, Chen Shizhong's candidacy for mayor of Taipei had a spillover effect, Taoyuan people hated the DPP, and Zhang Shanzheng's momentum soared, and he was finally elected mayor of Taoyuan. No wonder a KMT official lamented that Zhang Shanzheng was Taiwan's luckiest political figure.
