Candidate Lan Wanqian for Ligang Township mayor was detained for bribery and banned from public viewing. (Information from this newspaper)

Lan Wanxi and her daughter, daughter-in-law of former legislator Su Zhenqing and candidate for mayor of Ligang Township without party membership, were suspected of election bribery. They were originally ordered to post a bail of NT$200,000. However, the screen prosecutor successfully filed a protest. At noon today, the Pingtung District Court ruled that Lan Wanxi and her daughter were detained without permission.

Ligang township mayor candidate Lan Wanxi was suspected of holding a dinner party in the name of the Lan clan association to entertain villagers on May 30 this year. Pingtung prosecutors launched a search, summoned voters and relevant witnesses, and on the 3rd, Lan Wanxi and her father Lan Xinyi were detained. The Pingtung District Court ruled that each of them should be released on bail of NT$200,000. Lan Wanxi later posted on Facebook to express her gratitude to her family, friends and villagers who care about her. They have endured a lot of pressure and emphasized that they have served as the director-general of the clan association for more than eight years. The clan association has a regular dinner every year, which is an important moment to maintain friendship. This incident has caused many elderly clan elders to receive investigation and news attention. Even a nearly 90-year-old relative who has terminal cancer and is in a nursing home has also been sent to the investigation. She is very distressed and deeply sorry.

Lan Wanqian explained that she has never done anything illegal from beginning to end. She has appointed a professional lawyer to cooperate with the investigation in accordance with the law and will present relevant facts and evidence through formal procedures. She respects the judiciary and believes that the facts will eventually be fully clarified and she will be innocent.

The Pingtung District Prosecutor's Office believed that Lan Wanqian's suspicion of election bribery was serious, and there were reasons for detention such as colluding with accomplices, witnesses, and the possibility of destroying evidence and the fact that evidence was destroyed, and that detention was necessary. Therefore, she immediately filed a protest after the bail was ruled. The Kaohsiung High Court ruled on the 9th that the protest was successful. The Pingtung District Court reopened the detention court this morning and ruled that the detention was prohibited.

Chiayi Liujiao Township Representative Huang Ing-wen died of illness, impacting the election situation and the ecology of the representative conference

Huang Ing-wen, a representative of the six-legged villagers in Chiayi County, died of illness on October 29. Originally, the six-seat government had full control of the representative council, but now it is 5-5 with one less seat. The five opposition representatives did not attend the technical boycott, which led to the failure of the third reading of the 116-year general budget. The election situation in this constituency changed suddenly from nine people competing for five seats to eight people competing for five seats.
