The Kuomintang camp has been criticizing the Changhua Prosecution and Investigation Office Speaker Xie Dianlin and his family for alleged election bribery. They have been blasting the Prosecution and Investigation Office for days for turning them into political thugs and "letting dogs bite people."

In fact, as early as last year, the Chang'an Procuratorate launched an investigation into former DPP county councilor Jiang Xiong Yifeng for fraudulently claiming more than 4.87 million yuan in assistant fees. In March this year, when the entire case was concluded, the prosecutors specifically requested a prison sentence of 9 years and 6 months. After being transferred to the Changhua District Court, the case has been adjourned to this day.
Although Jiang Xiong Yifeng was detained, she still participated in the party's county council primary election and was nominated. However, due to continued detention, the county party headquarters suspended her power for two years in August this year. Her husband, former legislator Jiang Zhaoyi, received the petition for her and registered to run for election as a non-party member.
Jiang Zhaoyi said that he believed in his wife's innocence. In the past, they served the grassroots step by step. He and all his supporters are the embodiment of Jiang Xiong Yifeng. They will also plant campaign flags, continue to visit households and hold grassroots symposiums. Recently, I have encountered many people who are very sympathetic to her situation and believe in her innocence. They must run for the election no matter what.

During the parliamentary question, Tainan City Councilor Chen Yizhen invited Mayor Huang Weizhe to lead "graduates or school councilors" to form a graduation tour group, requesting that they depart from Tainan Airport to visit cities with direct flights, and actively seek destinations such as Seoul and Busan in South Korea and Tokyo and Osaka in Japan to reduce citizens' need to fly to Taoyuan and Kaohsiung. Huang Weizhe said that the proposal was meaningful and said with a smile that MPs would be more free after the election.

Wei Pingzheng, a candidate for Changhua County Mayor of the Kuomintang, pointed out that the judicial handling of the election bribery case has had a chilling effect on candidates across Taiwan, and some even rushed to take back the raffle prizes from the Mid-Autumn Festival barbecue event. He called on the Ministry of Justice to establish consistent standards as soon as possible to avoid superficial reports or unilateral investigations to maintain electoral fairness. In response to the detention of Changhua Speaker Xie Dianlin and his son, he believed that the detention involved political participation, and the prosecutors should present specific evidence instead of detaining people just because they were worried that the evidence would be destroyed. He also respected his mother Zheng Rufen's decision not to assist in the election.
