During the meeting, the “referendum” proposed by Dai Yaoting was used, which combined the ranking and the election. People support.

Dai Yaoting accepted inquiries and said that most of the people he had contacted had attended the meeting in person or by representatives. He believed that although the general direction had been set this time, there were still many details to be discussed, including how to arrange abandonment. All participants stated that the "referendum" was indeed a plan that no one expressed strong opposition to, and that a plan to directly hold the primary elections and a plan that was simply abandoned in the end all tended to disagree.

As for the abandonment part of this plan, the participating teams participating in the official election will promise to publicly announce the suspension of the electoral project if the ranking of support is not within the range that can be elected according to the poll results announced two days before the election day.

He mentioned that polls from private press conferences were also used as a basis for discussions. A non-governmental press conference announced the results of the poll earlier this evening. 94.4% of the interviewees believed that candidates in the "competition camp" should make a list through primary elections.
