英文稿全文:
Nearly 80 percent of Taiwanese are expected to head to the polls on Nov. 29 to vote in Taiwan's nine-in-one elections. Voters will choose candidates ranging from mayors of Taiwan's six biggest cities to local village chiefs.
Perhaps the most hotly contested mayoral race is that of Taipei. Thus far, six major Taiwanese media outlets, including those favoring the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT) and the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), have all reported Ko Wen-je, a doctor and an independent candidate, to be leading the polls. His competitor, Sean Lien, son of former Taiwan Vice President Lien Chan, is shown to be trailing by at least 10 percentage points in most recent surveys.
Both candidates are running for public office for the first time as they bid to succeed Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin, who will step down in December after serving two consecutive four-year terms. Of the five other candidates in the mayoral race, none is expected to win more than 2 percent of the vote.
Sadly, reporting of the campaign has not adequately covered substantive discussions of the candidates’ objectives and plans. Rather, they have focused on the mudslinging between Ko and Lien, the two front running candidates. On Tuesday, Sean Lien's campaign manager Alex Tsai stated that he is suing Ko Wen-je and his team for aggravated defamation and perjury. Ko’s camp, on the other hand, has implied that his competitors are involved in an alleged eavesdropping scandal and that they have made false accusations of him engaging in unethical medical practices.
Currently, a popular public opinion is that the KMT, despite having ruled the city since 1998, may lose the support of young independent voters because of Lien’s alleged image as someone owing his success to his wealthy family, and also because of the general discontent over the ruling government’s handling of national issues such as food safety and education.
