民進黨中常會通過「反黑金條款」，議長、副議長選舉，黨團及黨籍議員不得支持具有黑金背景人選。不過台南市議長選舉還沒開始就爆內鬨，民進黨立委陳亭妃公開質疑，選前發生的88槍槍擊案迄未破案，有黑金背景者與要選台南正副議長者熟識。遭指涉的民進黨中執委郭再欽則發聲明反擊陳亭妃是為了「議員跑票」鋪陳。
December 7: The Central Standing Committee of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) adopted a so-called anti-black gold clause to combat corrupt and violent underworld politics. The measure mandates that in local council elections, the party's caucuses and councilors are not to support candidates with "black gold" backgrounds. However, internal strife broke out even before the Tainan speaker election. DPP Legislator Chen Ting-fei publicly questioned why the 88-gunshot incident that occurred in Tainan before the election has not been resolved and hinted that certain individuals with black gold backgrounds are well-acquainted with contenders for speaker and deputy speaker. Kao Chai-chin, the member of the DPP's Central Standing Committee insinuated, retaliated with a statement that Chen is merely creating an excuse for friendly councilors voting against the party line in the upcoming speaker election.
