Little Impact on Kaohsiung Election

Chen Chu has been serving as mayor of Kaohsiung for eight years, including before Kaohsiung city and county were integrated. In general, Chen enjoys high popularity among the citizens, even after the deadly gas explosions shook the city. Former Kaohsiung County Magistrate Yang Chiu-hsing (楊秋興), who is also the Kuomintang's (KMT) Kaohsiung mayoral candidate, on the other hand, seems to be badly behind in this campaign.

Kaohsiung prosecutors' decision to summon Chen and other officials for questioning over the explosions is an inevitable move as none of the officials in the Kaohsiung City Government were capable of explaining clearly the management of the city's underground petrochemical pipelines. However, judging from the fact that many supporters of Chen gathered outside of the KDPO building and her current high approval rating, the prosecutors' probe into the gas explosions may have little impact on Chen's campaign.

Investigation of Ko to Influence Swing Voters

Taipei prosecutors' move to investigate the NTUH's MG149 bank account, on the other hand, may have a big impact on Ko's camp.

After transcripts of a conversation involving Ko's campaign staff, Tsai and Liu Yi-ju (劉意如) — another key member of Ko's intensive care team — were published by the Next Magazine, Ko accused his KMT rival Sean Lien (連勝文) of creating Taiwan's version of the “Watergate (scandal).” Commenting on Tsai being questioned over the MG149 bank account, Ko said “this is going too far.” He said his colleagues were questioned and taped just because they are helping him with campaigning.

Since Ko announced he would run in the Taipei mayoral election, he has been saying that he is outside party politics in this campaign.

Nevertheless, if he starts to accuse the KMT of persecuting him politically, the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) usual tactics, he might fall into the old “blue and green” fight which he's been trying to avoid.

Swing voters in Taipei may then change their views on Ko, which might cause damage to his campaign just as his rival Sean Lien is trying to win the election by coming from behind.

調查的影響到台北，高雄泛綠候選人

台北，台灣 - 繼週三泛綠台北市長候選人柯文濟的（柯文哲）私人工作人員會議的一個錄音的中國語言壹周刊出版的成績單，台北地方法院檢察署（TDPO）昨日召見高的手術重症監護病房的同事蔡丕菊（蔡壁如）作為證人接受詢問過爭議的醫院銀行賬戶MG149。

就在同一天，高雄地方法院檢察署（KDPO）傳喚高雄市長陳菊（陳菊），誰是競選即將舉行的市長選舉，以及其他三名官員在七月下旬訊問過致命的瓦斯爆炸事故，造成的死亡31高雄市民。

高雄檢方表示，他們正在調查這一事件的深入，看看官員失職，而處理事件。

由於全國各地的市長選舉將在不到70天內舉行，無論台北，高雄檢察官關於市長候選人舉措將有兩個政治陣營的影響。

高雄選舉影響不大

陳矗一直擔任高雄市長任內八年，包括前高雄縣進行了整合。一般情況下，陳水扁享有公民的超高人氣，甚至在致命的氣體爆炸震撼了這座城市。前高雄縣長楊秋興（楊秋興），誰也是國民黨（國民黨）高雄市長候選人，另一方面，似乎是嚴重落後於這項運動。

高雄檢察官決定傳喚陳水扁和其他官員進​​行詢問過爆炸是必然之舉為無，在高雄市政府的官員都能夠解釋清楚這個城市的地下石油化工管道的管理。然而，從陳的許多支持者聚集在KDPO建設，她目前的高支持率之外的事實來看，檢察官的探頭插入瓦斯爆炸事故，可能對陳水扁的競選影響不大。

柯的調查，影響中間選民

台北檢察官的舉動，調查台大醫院的MG149銀行賬戶，另一方面，可能對高的陣營有很大的影響。

經過談話筆錄涉及高的競選工作人員，蔡，劉貽菊（劉意如） - 中高的重症監護小組的另一個重要成員 - 由壹周刊出版，柯指責創造了他的國民黨對手連勝（連勝文）台灣版的“水門事件（醜聞）。”在談到蔡英文被質疑在MG149的銀行賬戶，柯說：“這太過分了。”他說他的同事們的質疑和錄音只是因為他們在幫助他競選。

由於柯宣布，他將在台北市長競選時，他一直說他是這項運動以外的政黨政治。

不過，如果他開始指責迫害他的政治的國民黨，民主進步黨（民進黨）通常的戰術，他可能會陷入舊的“藍綠”打架，他一直在試圖避免的。

然後在台北搖擺不定的選民可能會改變在Ko自己的觀點，這可能會損害他的競選就像他的對手連勝文正試圖從後面來贏得選舉。
