In order to curb bad election practices and defend innocence, three people including lawyer Gao Ziting, spokesperson of the campaign team of Yilan County Mayor candidate Lin Guozhang of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Wenchang, director general, and Qiu Jiajin, chairman of the Yilan County Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, went to Yilan this afternoon The District Attorney's Office rang the bell to file a complaint. In response to the endless false accusations made by the Kuomintang camp in recent months, the camp emphasized that it could not bear it anymore and decided to formally pursue legal proceedings to fully counter the Blue Camp's vicious AI rumors and billboard smear campaigns.

Gao Ziting, spokesperson of the National Competition Bureau, pointed out that the target of the complaint is the Yilan County Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang and its chairman Lin Jianrong. She said that since Lin Guozhang ran for election in September this year, the official Facebook page of Blue Camp has produced a series of AI pictures and videos, and has hung up derogatory billboards in various towns and villages. The content is filled with false accusations such as Lin Guozhang as a "cat thief" and false accusations of "earning China's red money", which has seriously damaged the candidate's reputation.

Gao Ziting emphasized that despite the team's repeated clarifications, the Blue Camp still ignored it and continued to spread the word. This move not only constituted defamation, but was also suspected of the crime of "intending to cause people to be unelected" under the public official election law. She criticized that 30 years ago, Lin Jianrong and other members of the original team used this method to smear former county magistrate Chen Dingnan. Now they are repeating the same tactics, saying "the Kuomintang has been consistent for 30 years. If it does not smear, there will be no election." The team is determined to file a lawsuit to set the record straight.

Qiu Jiajin, chairman of the Yilan County Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that since Lin Guozhang entered the election campaign, he has always adhered to the principles of decency and warmth. He focused on explaining his governance concepts and political opinions on any occasion he attended. He has never taken the initiative to attack his opponents, nor has he invited the Legislative Yuan caucus to hold a press conference for political attack. He emphasized that Lin Guozhang always adheres to the right path and hopes to win recognition with positive arguments and bring a clean democratic election to the Yilan folks.

Qiu Jiajin criticized the situation, but the opponent camp continued to use bad means such as smearing, framing and spreading rumors in an attempt to influence the correct judgment of the county people. Even though the team had held multiple press conferences and sternly clarified through written statements, the auxiliary election team led by Lin Jianrong continued to carry out false attacks overwhelmingly. The team could not bear it anymore and appointed lawyer Gao Ziting to formally file a complaint.

Qiu Jiajin emphasized that the behavior of the blue camp has clearly violated the provisions of Article 104 of the Public Employee Election and Removal Law, and called on all Yilan County residents to recognize the current situation during the election campaign and rationally identify candidates who are truly willing to work for the local government and serve with integrity. He firmly believes that on the voting day, the county people will make the wisest choice with their votes, work together to curb the unhealthy trend of slander, and protect Yilan’s democratic values.
