Su Chen-ching bows out of DPPBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterDemocratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Su Chen-ching (蘇震清) yesterday announced that he was removing himself from the party until he clears his name in a bribery case. Su, 56, has represented Pingtung County constituencies for four terms as a legislator. Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Su Chen-ching is pictured at a news conference in Taipei yesterday at which he announced that he is leaving the party. Although the corruption case has been a setback, observers had said that Su might run as an independent candidate. A run by Su as an independent would likely split the DPP vote, political commentators had said.
