Why It Matters
The countdown to the nine-in-one election has begun, and the five-mile-long election in Neihu District, Taipei City has attracted attention. Candidate Wang Jiansheng announced his withdrawal from the race on September 7 due to a history of attempted sexual assault, but was later revealed to be still campaigning in the constituency.
The countdown to the 9-in-1 election was approaching. Wang Jiansheng, a candidate for the five-mile length of Taipei City's Neihu District, announced his withdrawal from the candidacy on September 7 after being accused of attempted sexual assault. Wang Jiansheng's former boss, People's Party MP Chen Youcheng, also issued a message at the time to support his decision to withdraw. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiansheng was caught and continued to campaign in a low-key election in the constituency. Wu Xindai, the candidate for the Taiwanese Foundation Councilor in Taipei City's Second District (Neihu, Nangang), even revealed that Wang Jiansheng also distributed campaign literature with his name, photo and private LINE inside, hoping that Chen Youcheng would apologize and clarify the wrong information. Chen Youcheng clarified on the social platform Threads that he has no contact with Wang Jiansheng.
Wu Xindai said that even delivering food requires a good citizen certificate. Why can a sexual predator be elected as the mayor? But the other party was very smart and started to put smoke bombs on the Internet. Although the candidate Wang Jiansheng publicly announced his withdrawal from the election, his statement was made several days after the registration of the winning election meeting. In other words, even if he withdraws from the election online, he will still appear on the ballot and is still a legal candidate according to law; Wang Jiansheng continues to whisper rumors in local places. The news claimed that "there is only one candidate for district chief in a five-minute district. No matter how much you hate him, you can't change the situation even if you care about him. He will still be elected."
Wu Xindai pointed out that Wang Jiansheng was originally an assistant to Chen Youcheng, the current member of the Kuomintang Party. However, Chen Youcheng recently issued a statement on his fan page, directly and publicly endorsing sexual assault, announcing that Wang Jiansheng had withdrawn from the election online. Please stop caring about this matter and let the issue return to the discussion of the system. She questioned Chen, "I wonder if you are the one who was deceived, or are you going to deceive the public with Wang Jiansheng?"
Wu Xindai also took out Wang Jiansheng's campaign literature. His private LINE account was printed on the vegetable cloth, saying, "Who wants to add a private LINE of sexual assault?" Wu Xindai emphasized that Chen Youcheng should apologize to the society and tell everyone that the withdrawal information he endorsed before was wrong because Wang Jiansheng is still continuing the election.
Wu Xindai also said that when Chen Youcheng announced that he wanted rehabilitated people to return to society, he was very innocent and it was all political manipulation in the election. However, as a public opinion representative, the focus is to help voters protect their personal safety. How can you continue to support sexual assault for the sake of your own votes and to save your own political power?
