The Central Executive Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party passed the "Amendment to Article 9 of the Measures for the Election of Party Officials" today; at the same time, it passed the "Draft Amendment to Article 6 of the Regulations on the Nomination of Public Candidates" and submitted it to the National Party Congress for resolution. It needs to be approved by the National Party Congress before it can take effect. It is difficult to regulate the 2024 presidential and legislative elections in the nomination schedule. It is an important reference for consultation and coordination during the 2024 election nomination operation.

Secretary-General Xu Liming further explained that in order to manage black money from the source and ensure that it is stricter than the electoral strike law, the exclusion conditions increase the participation of criminal organizers, sexual assault criminals, and child sex traffickers. Hooligan regulations, drugs, guns, ammunition and knives control regulations, etc., have been tightened from sentencing to prosecution. Because the judicial process is lengthy, being prosecuted is already very serious, and they will not be nominated or banned from participating in party elections.

Xu Liming mentioned that in the past, the DPP had a proviso that the execution of the sentence was completed or the sentence was completed, and the probation was over 10 years. Election very serious determination and quick response to social expectations.

The media asked whether this amendment means that Huang Chengguo will not be able to participate in the party's public office in the future?

Lai Qingde responded: "Yes, there is nothing wrong. In the future, those who involve black, gold, guns, drugs, or who have been disciplined will not be able to hold the party position of the DPP, nor can they represent the DPP in running for public office." Taiwan's political example has inspired other political parties to follow suit.

When asked again whether Huang Chengguo was asked to resign from the current Central Standing Committee, Lai Qingde replied that when the acting party chairman Chen Qimai was in office, the party had discussed this with Huang, so Huang agreed not to attend relevant party meetings.

Was asked whether Huang Chengguo's request for investigation would be dealt with?

Lai Qingde said: "We will do this part."

Lai Qingde said that today's proposal was passed without objection. Everyone believes that this is the responsibility of the DPP and should contribute to the current social security. We should also decisively deal with the criticisms that the DPP suffered in the nine-in-one election last year. , so no one expressed a dissenting opinion.
