 The election results in Taiwan 2024/Carlos Pueblo

The National Elections in Taiwan in 2024 are in now, Andy Lai of the Democratic Progressive Party, the incumbent, wins the Presidency and the Legislative Yuan are not that clear if the DPP is still in control. It is shown that Taiwanese voters are preferring to be an independent nation nothing to do with China.

During the campaign, the status of Taiwan has been a major subject to be debated. DPP is criticized too strong for Taiwan Independent from China which is threating to use the force to invade Taiwan in the case. I understand neither the Nationalist KMT party nor the Taiwan People's Party would like to be under Chinese rule, yet they do not like to agitate China. All three parties prefer to maintain the status quote; however, in their mind, Taiwanese voters, 40% strong  like DPP and feel more comfortable with its principle.

I am disappointed for Dr. Ko Wen-jer's number three showing result. He has about 26.5% votes. He is a good prospect to rule the Nation. Taiwan loss an opportunity to be advanced to another level of strength as a developed nation. I hope Lai can take this mandate to lead Taiwan for the next four years.
