Supporters Allegedly Reported Nurse; Ko Wen-je: 'Happier Not Knowing Taipei Events' While in Yilan

Former TPP Chairman Ko Wen-je was accused of visiting Shin Kong Hospital late at night to "apply pressure over medical records." It is rumored that his supporters, dissatisfied with the nurse who leaked the information, reported her to the hospital. Ko said today in Yilan that campaigning there allows him the benefit of not knowing what is happening in Taipei, which makes him much happier. Ko has been stationed in Yilan since the 23rd to support Chen Wanhui's mayoral bid. When asked if he would call on supporters to stop reporting the nurse, Ko reiterated that staying in Yilan kept him away from Taipei's issues. Regarding the upcoming internal polling for a potential KMT-TPP alliance in Yilan, Ko emphasized the culture of doing one's best. Previously, a netizen posted a photo of Ko's back, alleging he visited the hospital at 10 PM to demand explanations. Ko clarified on the 24th that the patient was the mother of a party staffer who suffered low oxygen levels after surgery, and he could only visit late at night after completing his work.
