Taipei by-election candidates Wang Hung-wei and Enoch Wu took part in a policy presentation today but Wang questioned Enoch Wu should explain his reasons in refusing to debate, while Wu responded that he will not be caught in a battle of words.
As the Taipei City legislative by-election counts down, DPP Acting Chairperson Chen Chi-mai traveled north on Jan. 4 to support Enoch Wu. Chen Chi-mai is very confident about the election, believing that Wu does not get trapped in a battle of words or try to smear opponents, fully keeping his feet firmly on the ground. Thereby, a new election culture is being established.
Enoch Wu, DPP Taipei City Legislative By-Election Candidate: “For the past five weeks, my opponent did not raise any concrete criticisms or thoughts with respect to my claims; this way it is hard to debate.”
In the policy presentation this time, there was only one round of a 15-minute presentation of policies. Thus, KMT Wang Hung-wei posted her registration documents for the policy debate on her Facebook, charging that Enoch Wu registered before her and should therefore explain to the public why he refused to debate.
Wang Hung-wei, KMT Taipei City Legislative By-Election Candidate: “Or else, normally, if the candidates agree to debate, then we may be able to see, in debate form, a clear presentation of our policies.”
Wang Hung-wei, accompanied by Taipei City Councilor Chen Bing-fu, canvassed the streets of Zhongshan District on Jan. 4, while Enoch Wu not only is accompanied by DPP's Acting Chairperson Chen Chi-mai and city councilors during the day, he also has Vice President William Lai's personal support and presence at temples at night. With respect to this, Wang Hung-wei said sarcastically that Enoch Wu is actually "Tsai's Boy" so in the end, he would also get Tsai Ing-wen to stand by him.
台北市立委補選倒數，民進黨代理主席陳其邁4日特地北上幫吳怡農助陣，陳其邁對選情有信心，認為吳怡農不打口水戰抹黑，腳踏實地，樹立新的選舉文化，下午將登場的政見說明會吳怡農也會正面迎戰。
民進黨台北市立委補選候選人吳怡農說道：「過去這5個禮拜，我的對手對我的任何的主張沒有提出具體的批評、具體的想法，這樣是很難辯論的，我相信大家在今（4）日下午的政見發表會中，也會看到我們兩個之間的不同。」
由於這次政見說明會，只採一輪發言15分鐘，國民黨王鴻薇在臉書貼出政見辯論會登記文件，質疑吳怡農比她早登記，是否拒絕辯論，應該要對外說明清楚。
國民黨台北市立委補選候選人王鴻薇指出：「否則的話，照理說如果今天我們的候選人，大家都願意採取辯論的話，也許我們今天就可以看到，我們是用一個辯論的方式來呈現我們的政見。」
王鴻薇4日由台北市議員陳炳甫陪同，在中山區進行車隊掃街，吳怡農上午除了有代理主席陳其邁和議員相挺，晚上副總統賴清德也將出席廟口街講，對此王鴻薇則酸，吳怡農是小英男孩，不知道最後會不會找蔡英文來站台。
