Han as a candidate is bland and lacks an interesting platform, or a platform that the people can understand, which has contributed to his dwindling support, Chang added. Conversely, support for the PFP is on the rise, which is partly due to the KMT’s lackluster performance and people’s disappointment over Han’s failure to defeat Tsai, causing them to transfer their expectations to Soong, Chang said. Soong has called on all candidates to cease their useless war of words and instead focus on the presentation today, Chang said, adding that Soong’s performance would let the public see how he differs from Han. The PFP’s goal is to overtake Han by Saturday, and catch up with Tsai and surpass her before Jan. 11, voting day, Chang said. At a separate event, Soong said that if he is elected, he would only serve for one term to lay down a solid foundation that would enable any future president to help spread democracy.
