In Yilan, life-sized cutouts of Taiwan People's Party (TPP) county magistrate candidate Chen Wan-hui were spotted at multiple lottery shops, featuring the slogan 'Wish You a Great Fortune.' This sparked discussion among netizens, some of whom felt it looked like a commercial endorsement. Chen clarified today that the cutouts were intended as a simple blessing for locals buying lottery tickets, hoping their dreams come true. She expressed gratitude to friends who helped display them. However, as the KMT and TPP prepare to launch integration polls for the Yilan County Magistrate election, the cutouts have been removed from locations in Yilan City, Luodong, and Dongshan.
