Who will represent the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the mayoral election of Taipei has become a hot topic, with Wang Shi-jian, lawyer Hsieh Chen-wu, and chairman of Taipei 101, Chia Yen-chieh, all being named. It was recently reported that the DPP will officially nominate Zheng Lijun in April to run against Jiang Wan-an. Regarding this, DPP legislator Wang Shi-jian said in an interview on the 18th that he personally strongly supports Zheng Lijun, and the DPP has been working on it consistently, with the situation being quite clear. It just awaits Zheng Lijun's approval, emphasizing that the DPP is already prepared. If she finally faces Jiang Wan-an, this "double Wang" battle is bound to be an excellent and exciting election.
Not only does the DPP strongly support Zheng Lijun, but also KMT figures believe she is the strongest opponent. According to a report by Taiwan media, KMT councilor Qin Huizhu believes Zheng Lijun is the biggest opponent of Jiang Wan-an, mainly because her academic and professional background is very complete, making her the best person to prevent the electoral effect from spilling over, which can effectively restrict Jiang Wan-an. In addition, she has a unique feature that no one in the DPP can match: she has good relationships with key figures in the green camp, including Lai Ching-te, Tsai Ing-wen, Chen Shui-bian, and Su Tseng-chang. If she runs, it is believed that all factions will support her.
