Taiwanese candidates employ quirky tactics in election race
In Taiwan's Saturday election for seats in the Legislative Yuan and the National Assembly, candidates pursue unusual methods to win voters. Li Ming-chu campaigns in a padded dress, Beng Yi-ming walks to rallies, while others borrow images from the Philippines leader Corazon Aquino. Some candidates emphasize public health tips, reduce noise pollution, or reject loudspeakers. The election decides 73 of 24 Legislative Yuan seats and 84 of 905 National Assembly spots, marking a shift as native Taiwanese parties challenge the long-dominant Nationalists born in 1948.
