Former Presidential Office deputy secretary-general Lo Chih-chiang (羅智強) yesterday said he will not run for Taipei mayor this year, as he failed to get more than 1 million followers on Facebook.
Lo on Dec. 24, 2016, expressed interest in running in this year’s mayoral election and set three thresholds to achieve.
The first goal was to get more than 1 million followers on Facebook by the end of last year, before officially entering the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) primary election.
However, as he had only received about 910,000 likes by yesterday, he posted that he would not be running for mayor this year. [FULL STORY]
