Taiwanese Opposition Ready to Retake Power

By Prensa Latina

Taipei : The Kuomintang Party (KMT), the major opposition organization in Taiwan, is ready to retake power over the next few months, after an overwhelming victory in last Saturday’s legislative elections.

All analysts think it will be almost impossible for Frank Hsieh, the candidate for the governing Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), to prevent KMT Candidate Ma Ying-jeou from winning the presidential elections on March 22.

The Kuomintang, which has been out of the government since 2000, controls the Legislative and Presidential Assemblies, so it will be able to implement its program without difficulties.

In last Saturday’s elections, the KMT won 81 of 113 legislative seats, nearly three-fourth of Parliament.
