At an impromptu press conference late last night, Presidential Office spokesman Fan Chiang Tai-chi (范姜泰基) said that Ma had never instructed the Investigation Bureau to provide him with Tsai’s campaign schedule or estimations of her number of votes, and that the bureau had not reported any such information to the president.
“President Ma told the bureau chief the bureau should not investigate the opposition parties ... He did not ask the NSC to monitor or investigate opposition party leaders,” Fan Chiang said.
