The celebration hosted by the President reached its climax with the arrival of the Vice Chairman of the Progressive Party.
The Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee did not attend, and it was the Vice Chairman who came on his behalf to offer congratulations. This was not due to any conflict between the Chairman and the President; in fact, the leader of the Progressive Party did not attend either.
Both of these individuals, in terms of identity, status, and reputation, far surpass the current President. Their presence would create significant confusion.
Should people gather around the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee and the Party Leader, or should they gather around the President?
Such confusion might even create some rifts between the three of them, who otherwise have a good relationship. These rifts might not appear in daily life, but they inevitably leave some gaps, until someday an event occurs that completely exposes these issues!
