Another highlight will be the Taiwan-wide party congress in July, where the executive committee and the central standing committee will be re-elected. Yesterday, the election of party representatives and the chairman of the party department It is an outpost battle, and the most competitive counties and cities are almost "British" and "non-British" battles.

　　As the "new trend" of the largest faction of the DPP, this election of the chairman was deliberately low-key. Before the vote, the party headquarters of Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County were stabilized, and the Green Camp voted.

Except for the two counties and cities of Gaoping, "New Trend" has stabilized its friendly cooperation partners with its strength, including New Taipei City, Keelung City, Changhua County and Chiayi City, etc., and still plays a "key role" in the election of the chairman.

The real goal of "New Trend" is July, and it is hoped that through the election of the Central Executive and the Standing Committee, it will go deeper into the core of the party's power.

The reorganization of the party

　　According to DPP insiders, the 299 seats elected by party members on the 22nd voted for party representatives from all over Taiwan, plus party officials such as "legislators", "municipal" councillors, successive party chairmen, county mayors, etc. The 298 seats are of course party representatives, and these 597 votes will be re-elected to the executive committee and the central judges in the July National Congress.

　　According to regulations, after all party representatives in Taiwan elect 30 Central Executive Committee members, 10 Central Standing Committee members will be elected from among the 30 Central Executive Committee members.

At present, the factional power structure of the Central Committee, the highest decision-making body of the DPP, includes 3 seats of the "New Clan", 1 seat of the "Soviet Clan", 1 seat of the "Green Friendship Link", 2 seats of the "Positive Parliament", and 2 seats of the "British Faction". "2 seats, 1 seat of "Speaking Speech".

　　Party insiders said that on May 25, the Central Executive Committee will confirm the electoral list for all party representatives in Taiwan.

　　In the next two years, Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, will serve as the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party at the end of his term.

For the term of the party post after the re-election, the party will handle the 2024 "general election" primary election, the nomination mechanism for regional "legislators" and non-divisional "legislators", etc. Quite active layout, for a favorable position.

　　Previously, Taiwanese public opinion analysis said that Taiwan will usher in the election of county and city councillors at the end of 2022, and the competition among the various factions of the DPP will be fierce. Competition levels rise.

　　Factional competition is the norm for the DPP. In the past, under Tsai Ing-wen's "fixed one", there were not many flowers in full bloom. After Tsai Ing-wen has been in power for six years, the DPP has gradually returned to its "status quo".

It is foreseeable that the closer the time of Tsai Ing-wen's resignation is approaching, the more intense the killing within the party will be.
