The D-P-P's Central Evaluation Committee has expelled 50 party members.

They including former lawmaker Julian Guo and agricultural blogger Lin
Yu-hong.

The committee said all of the expelled party members either violated party
rules by campaigning for other political parties or were involved in #MeToo
sex scandals.

Although some of them had previously announced they were voluntarily
withdrawing from the party, the disciplinary committee stated that it still
obliged to revoke their memberships.

The D-P-P Central Evaluation Committee says the unanimous decision to expel
the members was made after discussions about their conduct in 2022's
nine-in-one local elections and the 2024 presidential and legislative
elections.

Along with expelling 50 party members, the D-P-P's disciplinary committee has
also suspended the memberships of 37 members for a year.
