Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang was exposed to the news that four senior managers of his Erxin Cooperative went to the election committee to accompany him to register for a campaign during working hours on September 1, and were suspected of administrative non-neutrality. Xie Guoliang did not respond when interviewed, but instead accused the DPP mayoral candidate Speaker Tong Ziwei’s father of publicly supporting his son’s mayoral election at the Civil Defense Dinner, which was not neutral. A spokesman for Tong Ziwei's office pointed out that it is only natural for a father to cheer for his son, but it is abnormal for company employees to support the boss's family in elections and should not be confused. There are also reports that when Tse Guoliang ran for election four years ago, there were also two-letter bankers and school teachers to help canvass votes. This collective appearance was questioned as an organized mobilization.
