Taipei : Opposition Kuomintang Party (KMT) swept to victory on Saturday at polls in Taiwan, dealing a tough blow to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) intentions to separate the Island from China.
The group, which promotes better relations with the Chinese mainland and rejects the policy of the current Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian, will control two-thirds of the new 113-member Legislative Assembly.
With this absolute majority, the KMT can give a green light to virtually any legislation, approve and dismiss the Cabinet and put Chen in an unsustainable position if so it wishes.
According to spokespeople for the governing party, the DPP will have less than one-fourth of seats in Parliament.
