The latest results of the Kuomintang (KMT) chairman election show four major characteristics! Hao Longbin is almost crying, and Zheng Liwen may become the second female KMT chairman in the party's history after Hung Hsiu-chu!
First, as of 1:30 PM, Zheng Liwen continues to lead, approaching 20,000 votes, while the second-place candidate Hao Longbin has just passed 10,000 votes.
Second, the voting results have been completed in overseas areas as well as the three island counties of Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu. In these four districts, candidate Zheng Liwen leads her main rival, candidate Hao Longbin, with over 50% of the votes, temporarily ranking first.
Third, according to the latest statistics, during the vote counting process in New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, Taichung City, Nantou County, Changhua County, Chiayi County, Kaohsiung City, and Taitung County, Zheng Liwen has consistently led, with a lead of more than 10% over Hao Longbin. The only exception is Taipei City, where Hao Longbin's gap with Zheng Liwen is minimal. In other words, Zheng Liwen's lead is not only reflected in the overall vote count but also in most of the cities and counties across the country.
Fourth, Hao Longbin's "birthplace district" of Taipei City has a low voter turnout, which is even more disadvantageous for him. There are 40,000 party members in Taipei City, and it is estimated that the voter turnout today will not exceed 40%. In the Shilin District, it is about 30%, in the Beitou District, 33%, in the Wenshan District, 36%, and in the Da'an District, only 28%; other districts have not exceeded 35%. If he cannot mobilize votes from his birthplace district, it will be very difficult for Hao Longbin to win.
Next, we will see how many votes the "Zhang Family" in Yunlin County and the Fu Kunqi family in Hualien County can bring to Hao Longbin. Hao Longbin has a relatively stronger advantage in Yunlin County and Hualien County, but the vote counts from these two counties have not been released yet.
