[Reporter Lin Liangsheng/Taipei Report] The nine-in-one election ended, and there was a dispute over the counting of votes in the Pingtung County Mayor election. Su Qingquan, the Kuomintang candidate for Pingtung County Mayor, appealed for a reversal of the vote. To ensure the basic rights of all citizens in Pingtung, the Central Election Committee should also investigate the flaws in the Pingtung Election Committee's vote counting.

The Kuomintang League of the Legislative Yuan held a press conference today. Li Dewei, secretary of the Kuomintang League, requested that the Pingtung County Election Committee must clarify the controversial issues and how many blank ballots are hidden. Fairness and justice, without the truth, there would be no Pingtung county magistrate.

Li Dewei pointed out that the counting of votes in Pingtung County is the slowest and the least efficient in Taiwan. There are more than 1 million valid votes in the New Taipei mayoral election, which only opened for 2.5 hours. The Pingtung County Chief election has only more than 440,000 valid votes, and the counting time is long It took up to 5 hours, and there was also a situation where the number of voters was different from the media reports. The Central Election Committee and the Pingtung County Election Committee must make it clear.

Legislator Hong Mengkai of the Kuomintang said that in addition to the slow counting of votes in Pingtung, there were also media reports that there were mistakes in the counting of votes, and the ballots of Su Qingquan and Zhou Chunmi of the Democratic Progressive Party were wrongly planted. Is this just a polling station?

Or overall vote count?

The truth should be investigated clearly.

Hong Mengkai emphasized that the Kuomintang is not for any political party or individual, but for the people of Pingtung County to restore fairness and justice. Only by confirming that the election results are fair and without any flaws can it be clarified who is the new Pingtung County Magistrate. 3 doubtful points to deal with related lawsuits in accordance with the law.

Zeng Mingzong, Chief Convoy of the Kuomintang League of the Legislative Yuan, said that the counting of votes in Pingtung is slower than that of New Taipei, which has 4 million people, and even the number of voters keeps changing, which is very strange. Do the act of destroying evidence, otherwise the Kuomintang group will definitely prosecute according to law.

Zeng Mingzong said that Su Qingquan has gone to the Pingtung District Court to apply for a vote review, calling on the court to administer according to law, make a ruling as soon as possible, conduct a ticket review, return the truth to the people, and ensure the basic rights of all citizens in Pingtung.
