Introduction: Political co-signatures are a vital part of Taiwan's elections, and candidates need to ensure that enough supporters sign a letter of support to qualify. For Gou, the co-signing was crucial to his political career. However, he faced enormous difficulties in the process, which led to questions about his political prospects.
Rely on the strategies of local factions
Gou has adopted a strategy of relying on local factions, hoping to achieve his co-signing goal through their support. He believes that local factions have strength in various regions and can bring him enough support. However, this strategy did not work as he expected.
The dilemma of insufficient number of signatures
One of Gou's biggest challenges is the lack of signatures. He set a goal of 300,000 signatures, but in the past process, he encountered many problems. His signatures were not distributed evenly across regions as expected, but concentrated in specific places. This uneven approach to co-signing has left his political prospects uncertain.
Local factions also have their own reactions to the issue of co-signing. Some local factions began to withdraw and no longer actively supported Gou's co-signing. This forced him to rethink his political strategy and look for new supporters and tactics.
The end of political life
Gou's political challenges could end his political life. He had hoped to win big over small, but reality turned against him. The lack of number of signatures and the unstable support of local factions overshadowed his political prospects.
Possible help from the DPP
While Gou's local factional support has been challenged, he may seek help from the DPP. However, the DPP is unlikely to fully support him because they believe he will not attract enough voter support.
Despite Gou's serious political challenges, politics is fraught with uncertainty. He still has time to adjust his strategy and garner more support, but it will require him to act and make smart decisions. The fate of his political life will depend on developments in the coming weeks.
Conclusion: Gou has encountered difficulties in Taiwan's political co-signing process, and the strategy of relying on local factions has not worked as he hoped. The lack of co-signatories, the unstable support of local factions, and his political prospects are uncertain. Still, politics is full of uncertainty, and he still has the opportunity to recalibrate his strategy and strive for the continuation of his political career. However, the process will be challenging and require him to make informed decisions and actions. Gou's political career is bound to be a bumpy road.
