DPP and KMT play presidential cards on election eve

The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) will both play presidential cards on the eve of the local elections on November 24.

All election activities must end at 10:00 pm on Friday. Campaigning via text message, emails or on Facebook on Saturday is against the law.

Over the past week, President Tsai Ing-wen and Premier William Lai have been busy campaigning for DPP candidates islandwide to seek support.

DPP Secretary-General Hung Yao-fu said Thursday that President Tsai will start her campaign rally in the northeastern Yilan county on Friday, then she will visit southern, central and northern Taiwan. Hung said Tsai’s appearance will help boost DPP candidates’ chances of winning.    [FULL  STORY]
