[Reporter Shi Xiaoguang/Taipei Report] In response to former Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou’s intention to seek the Kuomintang’s nomination for the 2024 presidential election, Zeng Mingzong, executive director of the Kuomintang Policy Council, said today that the Kuomintang will have an open and transparent mechanism to select the strongest presidential candidate, but then he The conversation changed to say that KMT Chairman Zhu Lilun said yesterday that New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi is the KMT's strongest hen. "We welcome Guo Dong to support the KMT's strongest candidate."

Asked by the media whether Hou Youyi is the strongest of the KMT?

Zeng Mingzong reiterated, "The strongest hen now is Mayor Hou." The media asked again, is Guo Taiming forcing Hou Youyi to express his position in advance?

Zeng Mingzong said that the Kuomintang is a political party with a system. It has an open and transparent nomination mechanism and an established schedule, so it does not necessarily force anyone to express their views.

The media asked again, do you suggest that the Party Central Committee directly recruit Hou Youyi?

Zeng Mingzong only said that his personal opinion is not to hold the primary election, because the primary election will leave major sequelae, which is not conducive to future integration. As for the rumor that Zhu Lilun intends to integrate with Guo Taiming through the Hsinchu City Party Headquarters, Zeng Mingzong clarified that this is a mistake pass.
