Updated:
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a second term in a landslide victory over her opponent, Han Kuo-yu of the Kuomintang (KMT), and her party maintained its majority in the legislature.
Legislative Elections
Tsai’s DPP lost seven seats in the legislature, and the KMT gained three seats. Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je’s Taiwan’s People Party entered the Legislative Yuan with a strong showing of 1.5 million votes in the nationwide and overseas legislator election, against 4.8 million and 4.7 million for the DPP and KMT, respectively.
Starting in 2012, legislative elections have been held simultaneously with presidential ones. A constitutional amendment reforming the Legislative Yuan was passed in 2005 and since then the party that controlled Taiwan’s executive branch also controlled its legislative assembly.
Taiwan’s Parliament is elected by semi-proportional representation. Seventy-three members are elected in a first-past-the-post system from special municipalities, counties and cities. Of the remainder, 34 are chosen by proportional representation from lists proposed by political parties and six are elected by indigenous peoples.
