2024 Elections: Han was pressured: KoBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporter, with CNAFormer Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) must have been under party pressure in a call for his supporters to not vote for Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) Chairman and presidential candidate Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), Ko said yesterday, adding that was not what Han had told him in private. Photo: CNA“Ko Wen-je’s election campaign is like an air gun shot, making a loud noise, but he will not win. So dear Ko supporters, please switch your votes” [to the KMT], Han said. In response to Han’s remark, Ko yesterday said that Han is a KMT party member and also at the top of its legislator-at-large candidate list. “It is completely different than what he [Han] told me in private,” Ko said, adding that people subconsciously reveal their real thoughts in their speech, so when Han said it is not an issue of whether Ko is suitable for the presidency, what Han really means is that Ko is better than Hou.
