After not attending the Kuomintang (KMT) chairman's debate, Hao Longbin came out to respond! On September 23, Hao Longbin stated that the party chairman is not selected for his eloquence, nor is it about selecting a legislator, or questioning officials, or just scolding the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), it's not just about hearing it and feeling good. Then what? A chairman should unite the party, and even communicate and coordinate with friendly parties. He should have administrative experience and be familiar with party affairs, able to unite the KMT and have executive capabilities.

Hao Longbin said that some people accused him of representing the KMT's court culture and sauce vat culture. Hao Longbin said that the most important thing for him as the party chairman is to tear off and change these negative labels. Can it be decided by a few key leaders through private dealings? Obviously, from Hao Longbin's response, he does not think that not attending the debate is an issue. However, Hao Longbin's response clearly seems to be somewhat argumentative.

In fact, due to Hao Longbin's absence, his online support rate dropped to the bottom. Many local residents said that if Hao Longbin, who did not attend the debate, could be elected as the KMT chairman, they would rather support the People's Party, and would rather lose in 2028 than vote for the KMT. Obviously, having eloquence and participating in the debate are completely different matters. Participating in the debate, how can it be a verbal battle?

Doesn't Hao Longbin need to explain his positions to the public and within the party? Without positions and vision, there is no soul, and the KMT remains an empty party. Hao Longbin said he wants to remove the KMT's labels of court culture and sauce vat culture, but at least from announcing his candidacy to not participating in the debate, Hao Longbin has become the best example of these negative labels. Such arguments from Hao Longbin will not change the KMT's image, and if he is elected, it will further damage the KMT.
