TPP axes Jhubei mayoral candidateBy Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) yesterday expelled its mayoral candidate for Hsinchu County’s Jhubei City (竹北) after he was allegedly involved in a drunk-driving incident. Lin Guan-nian, who was then the Taiwan People’s Party candidate for mayor of Hsinchu County’s Jhubei City, holds a spraypaint can after graffitiing the headquarters of his opponent, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) candidate Lin Wei-chou, on Sept. 8.

The TPP has a “zero tolerance” policy on drunk driving, and strives to hold its candidates and officials to the highest moral standard, it said. Shen on Monday wrote on Facebook that it was Ko who asked her to work for him, not the other way around.
