New Taipei City Councilor Huang Yong-chang can run for re-election after election law amendment
Taiwan's legislature passed an amendment to the Public Officials Election and Recall Act, removing the disqualification for candidates sentenced to probation or community service. This change, dubbed the 'Gao Hung-an clause,' allows New Taipei City Councilor Huang Yong-chang, previously disqualified due to a probation sentence, to run for re-election. The amendment also adds a disqualification for those convicted of fraud offenses.
