🏛️ Politics and the Nine-in-One Elections

• Taipei Mayoral Race Blue-White Alliance: KMT's Chiang Wan-an and TPP's Huang Kuo-chang teamed up for a livestream, playing a 'Whac-A-Mole' game together to quell the 'Anshu Rebellion' and attempt to rally 'little grass' and 'steel supporters.' Meanwhile, DPP opponent Shen Po-yang hit the streets for a major campaign in Shilin Night Market, drawing a massive crowd. A TV debate between the two sides has been scheduled for October 31st at noon. • Tsai Kang-yung's Black Suit Controversy: Renowned host Tsai Kang-yung confirmed his attendance at Chiang Wan-an's campaign headquarters launch event, jokingly stating he 'isn't qualified to be on stage.' He mentioned that due to the recent political trend of seeking solemn attire, he would wear a black suit as a sign of respect. • Legislative Yuan Showdown and Budget Storm: The Overseas Community Affairs Council's report to the Legislative Yuan on overseas inspections was criticized by both KMT and DPP legislators. The written report was revealed to be only half a page long (138 characters) and claimed the inspection budget was 0, drawing sharp condemnation. Legislator Hsu Chiao-hsin stumped an official by quizzing them on the Budget Act on the spot. • Kao Chin-tsui-mei's Exit Control Extension: The appellate court ruled to extend Kao Chin-tsui-mei's overseas travel restrictions, noting that the 'probability of her serving a prison sentence in the future is not low.'
