Former Taoyuan City Councillor, Kuo Li-hua, of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and her assistant Liu Tsai-jou have been indicted for allegedly purchasing private information in support of Foxconn founder, Terry Gou, during his independent presidential candidacy. The indictment states that Kuo, under Liu’s direction, secured 325 blank endorsement forms on six separate occasions, totaling a transaction of NT＄88,400. Law enforcement officials seized critical evidence, including endorsement registers and text messages, which implicated Kuo and Liu. Despite Kuo’s denial, the Taiwan Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office (TYC) emphasized that they and six others had clearly committed the crime and were officially prosecuted. The TYC has also requested a heavier sentence for Kuo due to her hostility after committing the crime.

According to a recent poll conducted by the TVBS Poll Center, nearly 60% of Taiwanese respondents believe it is unlikely for the Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih to collaborate with Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) candidate Ko Wen-je. Only 21% of those surveyed believed a cooperative effort between the two candidates was possible, while 21% remained undecided.

In the latest United Daily News poll, Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party maintains a 30% lead in the presidential race, while Kuomintang’s Hou Yu-ih sees a gradual decline in support. Ko Wen-je of the Taiwan People’s Party closely follows with 21%, and Terry Gou’s potential independent candidacy adds intrigue to the 2024 Presidential Election.
