There's been another vote-buying incident in Yunlin County.
Yunlin District prosecutors say they summoned 22 people over the distribution in April of peanut brittle valued at 190 NT per box, allegedly in exchange for votes in upcoming elections.
One of those detained was a candidate surnamed Chen. She was released on bail of 150,000 NT. The others, who were aides and voters, were released after questioning.
Chen said on Facebook that she could never have imagined being connected to vote buying, and she expects to restore her good name after clarifying the details of the case.
This follows news yesterday of a village chief in Yunlin being detained on suspicion of using cash payments in exchange for votes.
