“Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party becomes the next president, defeating his opponents Hou Yu-ih of the Kuomintang and Ko Wen-je of the Taiwan People’s Party. The victory represents an unprecedented democratic milestone: the first time a political party in Taiwan has won a third straight presidential election. However, the DPP lost its majority in the legislature, and no one party will have enough votes to rule by itself.”

Well I’m glad it wasn’t the KMT who won, but the margin was a lot slimmer this time around. The DPP has a lot of ground to cover to maintain momentum, and this time they also have a lot more opposition along with mounting tensions with the mainland that are causing further problems.
台灣 No. 1!
