Central News Agency (Central News Agency, reporter Ye Suping, Taipei, July 1) Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) nominee for Taoyuan City Councilor, Zhang Zhaoliang, has been detained and denied visitation due to alleged corruption charges. The DPP's Election Committee held a meeting today and decided to recommend to the Central Executive Committee that Zhang Zanwen, who lost in the primary, be appointed as the replacement candidate. Zhang Zhaoliang won the city council primary in Longtan District, Taoyuan City in March, defeating newcomer Zhang Zanwen in a two-way race. However, in early June, Zhang Zhaoliang was detained and denied visitation on suspicion of accepting bribes to assist businesses in illegally constructing warehouses on agricultural land. The DPP's Central Review Committee had already decided on June 30 to suspend Zhang Zhaoliang's party membership for one year. Sources present at the DPP Election Committee meeting today relayed that the committee has resolved to recommend to the Central Executive Committee that Zhang Zanwen be appointed as the replacement candidate. In addition, in preparation for the year-end local elections, the DPP has nominated 19 county and city mayoral candidates, with only Hualien County, Kinmen County, and Lienchiang County remaining to be nominated. It is reported that the Election Committee also discussed the nomination for Hualien County Magistrate today, but various parties are still in the process of integration and discussion, and opinions from the Hualien party chapter need to be sought. Therefore, no conclusion was reached today. (Editor: Su Longqi) 1150701 Stand with truth and facts. Your every contribution empowers the force guarding press freedom.
