The Chairman of the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party and President Lai Qingde said that the withdrawal of the new trend faction is to more objective the state government, and unite the party and lead the party.
According to the press release issued by the DPP, Lai Qingde often told party members at the Democratic Progressive Party on Wednesday (January 17) that democratic politics is political party politics.However, in order to "more objectively promote the national politics, unite the party and lead the party", decided to withdraw from the new trend from now on.
The new trend director Duan Yikang issued a press release earlier on Wednesday that based on respect for the presidential position, Lai Qingde will no longer be new trend members from now on.
Duan Yikang said that after Lai Qingde was nominated as the presidential candidate by the DPP, members of the new trend said that the new trend and Lai Qingde were constantly attacked.Therefore, after the selection, Lai Qingde was allowed to withdraw from the faction.
During the presidential election, Lai Qingde and the new trends they belonged were repeatedly attacked by the opposition party.Ke Wenzhe, the presidential candidate of the People's Party, said, "The biggest problem of the DPP today is the new trend, and then I can get such a mess."All the disadvantages of the party were blamed on the new trend, and shouted that "the new trend is not scattered, half of Taiwan."
