President Chen Shui-bian (???) yesterday accused Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) of being selfish and "playing judge" after his pan-blue opponent said he would boycott the referendum.

"It is an act of selfishness that Lien Chan said he would not pick up his referendum ballots yet at the same time asks others to vote for him ," Chen said.

During Saturday's election debate, Lien, representing the KMT-People First Party (PFP) alliance in the presidential race, said that while he respected others' decision on whether to cast ballots, he would not be voting in the March 20 referendum, calling it illegal.
