[Reporter Zhang Xiesheng/Nantou Report] Former KMT member Li Chaoqing, former head of Nantou County, was involved in 111 corruption cases involving disaster repair and other projects, of which 94 crimes were not determined. 81 cases, each sentenced to 5 years in June to 6 years in August, with a total sentence of 450 years and 4 months. After the Kuomintang Nantou County Mayor Lin Mingqin hosted a press conference for the Tea Industry Expo on the 30th, he was asked by the media whether the Li Chaoqing case affected the Kuomintang's year-end election. Qing Shi said that it has been too long and everyone has forgotten about it. Everyone has different characteristics and cannot be linked together. In addition, he was very honest as the county magistrate for 8 years. He believes that it will not affect the election at the end of the year.

Lin Mingqin said that he has been the county magistrate for 8 years. Last week, in a poll conducted by Commonwealth Magazine, his satisfaction with his administration reached 72%, and his satisfaction with the county residents' happiness index reached 83%.

However, the DPP county councilor candidates Zeng Congkai and Shen Suzheng in Nantou County believed that Li Chaoqing's total sentence of more than 400 years in prison was shocking, because Li Chaoqing was seriously corrupt, whether it was a county citizen living in Nantou County or living in other counties and cities. All county residents will feel sad and ashamed. This is the most shameful mark in the development history of Nantou County, and it will definitely have an impact on the election at the end of the year.
