The results are interesting! First time since 2000 the elected president hasn't gotten majority vote, no party holds majority seats in the legislative yuan (think congress), all front running presidential candidates taiwan-born, first time the incumbent party was able to retain control over term limits (8 years) since direct elections started, decent turnout across all demographics and locales. Unlike any previous election, no candidate or party holds a mandate 🥳
This means in the next legislative session, legislators will be forced to cross the aisle to get things done rather than rely on the crutch of pushing majority advantages through obscure legislative processes. Taiwan's democracy will have to continue to evolve. Lots of firsts for Taiwan, election didn't go "my way" but still thrilled at the results!
