Coercion Charged Over Councillors Switching Support in Saigon
A group of Gia Dinh Province councillors allege coercion into backing President Thieu for re election and seek to switch to Vice President Ky. Ky needs 40 senator or assemblyman endorsements or 100 provincial councillors by Wednesday to qualify for the October 3 ballot. Bao says 70 of 140 Ky supporters are legally certified. 70 more sought to switch from Thieu. An undercover officer allegedly challenged a councillor to an armed duel, complicating the switch.
