KMT blames TPP for impasse amid collaboration talks (TVBS News)
TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Tensions escalated between Kuomintang (KMT) president candidate Hou Yu-ih and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) Ko Wen-je's teams, as the latter rejected KMT's proposals for democratic primaries and public opinion polls, with no compromise in sight.
KMT Spokesperson Huang Tzu-che accused Ko's party of refusing to cooperate and demanded they be held accountable for the impasse.
The TPP refuted this, arguing that scientific validity and reliability are subject to societal scrutiny.
Ko's campaign manager, Huang Shan-shan, suggested averaging results from five public opinion polls, each with 3,000 samples, adding that whether to conduct such polls via landlines or mobile phones can be discussed later.
However, King Pu-tsung, campaign manager for Hou's team, criticized mobile polls, citing the potential for substantial bias.
Huang Tzu-che further accused the People's Party of attempting to delay discussions and pressuring Hou with unilateral legal statutes.
He emphasized that they are waiting for a goodwill response from the TPP and wish for them to meet the KMT in the middle.
He believes that if the TPP continues to assert its plan without room for discussion, it would disappoint public expectations for cooperation between the two parties.
