According to the latest TVBS poll conducted on August 4, Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Johnny Chiang stated that the KMT’s support rating has already surpassed that of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Chairman Chiang emphasized that the party’s insistence on never giving up is the result of joint efforts by all Central Standing Committee members as well as KMT public office holders.. “One should not shirk at the point of crisis” is his belief since he ran for party chairman and assumed responsibility for party affairs. The KMT’s transformation is obvious for all to see, and the efforts that the party made over the past year have already yielded significant results.
Chairman Chiang indicated that the pubic have expressed dissatisfaction with the DPP government for its poor response to the recent outbreaks of Covid-19 infections.. Chiang emphasized that it was the responsibility of the opposition parties to respond to the expectations of the people, saying that the KMT is on the right path and is gradually winning back the approval of the majority of the people.
According to the latest poll conducted by the TVBS Poll Center commissioned by the Chinese Association for Public Opinion Research, the DPP’s support rating is 21.8 percent, while the KMT’s support has increased by 4.4 percent from 19.0 percent, the result in June, to 23.4 percent, surpassing the DPP’s support rating.
Chairman Chiang emphasized that during the pandemic, the KMT central committee joined hands withlocal governments in the fight against the pandemic, offering the central government many rational suggestions. In addition, the KMT has promoted the donation of medical supplies for the “Pandemic Prevention Me+1” program and is actively helping underprivileged groups. The KMT has played a positive role in contributing to our society, and has received a wide range of responses.
Chairman Chiang emphasized that the next step is to vigorously oversee the ruling party. In particular, the DPP has engaged in clandestine decision-makingin the review of Medigen vaccines, and hastily planned to administer the vaccine. The implementation of the plan is chaotic, which has led to serious public grievances. All these only prove that it is a total disaster forthe DPP’s vaccination policy. The KMT and its party comrades will make all efforts to ensure that the vaccines to be received by the people should undergo phase three trials and obtain international certification.
In addition, when facing the Executive Yuan’s refusal to hand out cash to all residents, the KMT will stand firm. The DPP’s decision to issue stimulus vouchers will not only completely deviate from public expectations and waste administrative costs, it will also make the same mistakes as last year’s triple stimulus voucher policy demonstrated.
Chairman Chiang emphasized that one should demonstrate “leadership” in every practice of politics, bravely assuming responsibilities during the party’s most difficult moment. Chairman Chiang added that the KMT will always be our resource and asset. We must choose to work hard together in order to embrace the opportunity to share glory in the future. We must be there for each other, refuse divisiveness, stick to the right path, and advance bravely.
