In 2012, the president suffered losses in Taichung, Changhua and Nantou, and ended up losing the presidential election overall. But in 2016, she won more than 600,000 votes in this region and ended up elected Taiwan’s leader, highlighting its importance. Setting out from Changhua at noon, President Tsai went to Nantou and then to Taichung, energetically touring the central regions. After all the importance of Taiwan’s central areas to the election cannot be ignored. Tsai Ing-wenPresidentIn 2016, when I was elected president, we obtained more than half of all votes in Nantou. With presidential elections, DPP candidates rarely get more than half the vote in Nantou. In 2020, we want to get more than half again, OK?When comparing the last two presidential elections, President Tsai suffered losses in the central regions in 2012 and ultimately lost the election. However, in 2016 she saw big wins in the central regions, and overall won the election.
