Six party members were expelled from the Kuomintang (KMT) over campaigning for Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) then presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen, according to Central News Agency.

The opposition party’s disciplinary committee took measures against six party members on account of their conduct during the presidential and legislative elections early this year, including Hualien County Councilor Hsu Shu-yin, Yunlin County Coucilor Liao Chih-chu, Hualien’s SiouLin Town Mayor Lee Chun-feng, Yilan’s Sanshing Town Office Chairman Chen Wen-hsin, former Taitung’s Tawu Town Mayor Wu Chung-min, Taitung’s Nansing Village Chief Lin Yao-ru, who ran under DPP’s banner and campaigned for DPP’s then presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen during the January’s presidential and legislative elections.

The six will have their party membership revoked and will not be allowed to return to the party within six years under the statutory periods, according to the party’s regulations.     [FULL  STORY]
