Independent Legislator Sisy Chen (???) yesterday called on the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) not to blame her for the KMT-People First Party (PFP) alliance's defeat in last month's election.

She also said that all of the allegations she made on the eve of the election concerning the assassination attempt on President Chen Shui-bian (???) and Vice President Annette Lu (???) were based on information provided by the alliance's campaign headquarters, in an apparent challenge to the veracity of comments made by Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou on March 19.

Her remarks came in the midst of a storm of criticism from a number of pan-blue legislators who, believing that her baseless allegations at the March 19 press conference had provoked resentment in undecided voters and may have drawn support to President Chen Shui-bian, and that she should be responsible for the defeat of the alliance in the March 20 presidential election.

On Monday, KMT Spokesman Alex Tsai (???) directed the blame for the pan-blues' election defeat to Sisy Chen, saying that there were party members who thought that it was because party Secretary-General Lin Feng-cheng (???) "put too much trust in Sisy Chen" that as a result ended in the party losing the presidential election last month.
