民進黨新北市第8選區(土城、樹林、三峽、鶯歌)市議員廖宜琨疑提供免費磨菜刀服務及舉辦餐會,涉嫌賄選,檢調複訊後認其涉違選罷法、個資法犯嫌重大,向法院聲押禁見;廖宜琨為兩代傳承的政治世家,形象良好,涉賄一事另地方十分錯愕。綠營人士分析,廖遭約談涉賄選的衝擊,對地方後續的政治版圖變動非常關鍵,不管在該選區或是議會席次,民進黨要達到「過半」,都因此受到嚴重考驗。

廖宜琨的樹林服務處今持續正常作業,其妻子明顯面露憂心神情,服務處人員指出,若有廖案的相關結果,會再對外發聲明。離服務處相距不遠的鎮前街競選總部,凌晨零點仍有在地友人齊聚相挺,今天白天也陸續有支持者、鄰居好友上門關心廖的狀況,並不捨、錯愕詢問「怎麼會這樣?」競總人員向支持者說將靜待司法調查,下午4點半,競總也仍發放「洋流」、「慧聚」與廖的飄帶,發放時間還沒到,已有多位民眾排隊領取。

今年新北市議員第8選區相較上次,從10席減為9席,其中綠提名5人,藍提名4人,還有民眾黨參戰,呈現12人搶9席的激戰狀態。

地方人士指出,廖宜琨在樹林地區是兩代傳承的政治世家,其父親是民進黨籍前立委、前新北市議員廖本煙,基層實力雄厚,服務團隊平常對外也都相當和善,與地方互動良好,而廖宜琨提供磨菜刀服務已有多年,這次發生餐會與磨菜刀服務遭調查的問題,令地方十分錯愕。

綠營人士表示,這次土樹三鶯選區的總席次減1席,本來就競爭強烈,該選區對民進黨而言更是過半關鍵,其一,該選區9人搶5席,若因廖案少掉1席,就無法在該選區達到過半目標;其二,新北市議會此屆共68席名額,民進黨共提名36人,若因此少掉1席,剩下35席就得全上,才能達到議會過半。

地方人士指出,對多數選民來講,關注點較不會在政黨過不過半,而是投票時,候選人的清廉度、政黨的信任度都可能因涉入賄選受到影響,對候選人是一大考驗,而今年全國陸續有多位候選人涉賄被調查,賄選的「紅線」怎麼界定,也是許多候選人在意之處。
