In the interview before the meeting, he was asked whether he would take over as the director-general of Lai Qingde's campaign team in the next step?

Pan Mengan responded that now he is living a slash life and is still learning differently, but as a political member of the Democratic Progressive Party, he is duty-bound to elect Lai Qingde in the future, and he must shoulder the responsibility. Joining the party can be reborn after being quenched in every possible way.

When asked about the future management plan, Pan Mengan said that he had been in Pingtung for 20 years in the past, but the challenges in the whole country are different. How to integrate the party affairs, government affairs and election affairs systems in the future, and how to face the state affairs in the post-epidemic To meet the challenge, we must combine government affairs and election affairs, and win the trust of the people of Taiwan by uniting the whole party in party affairs. "In the future, we will definitely go to the battlefield if the party needs it and Lai Qingde needs it."

Do you have the confidence to help Lai win 2024?

Pan Mengan said that this is a big challenge. It doesn’t matter whether he is a trader or not. He is a screw for the DPP team and Lai Qingde team. People's trust is the most important thing, and continuing to govern in 2024 is a severe challenge.

He revealed that he will hold a new book release meeting on February 9th, and Lai Qingde will attend in person, everyone will wait and see.

Asked if Zheng Wencan still intends to run for the 2024 presidential election?

Pan Mengan said that Wen Can has been a brother for decades, and he is a very good political partner and brother emotionally. In terms of public affairs ethics, the vice president of the Executive Yuan must respect it. Dean Chen Jianren, with the assistance of Zheng Wencan, will definitely solve many historical problems and integrate election affairs at any time.

Pan Mengan pointed out that there is no consideration for not joining the cabinet. Before the election, he decided to take a good rest and submerge for a while. The DPP is full of talents. Someone has to do it, "Let me also be a bard singer!"
