DPP makes gains, but they aren't enough Today's Taipei Times had a good visual analysis of the Election result in PDF form [link updated] comparing the results with the turnout of the last Township/City/County Election in 2005 and showing that out of the locales that were involved (Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei [Cities and Counties]) weren't ), the Democratic Progressive Party ( DPP ) held onto all their seats plus gained Yilan County. The Chinese Nationalist Party ( KMT ), on the other hand lost not only Yilan (to the DPP ) but Hualien County, too, to Fu Kun-chi (傅昆萁), who had left the party to run against the KMT 's Du Li-hua (杜麗華). The Election in Penghu County was close, with KMT candidate Wang Chien-fa (王乾發) beating his DPP opponent Tsai Chien-hsing (蔡見興) by just 595 votes . A recount will take place automatically. Michael Turton notes how close the overall vote count was , though I should point out that he's only looking at the numbers for the city mayors and county magistrates. Much more info on the Election is available on today's front page and in the Taiwan News section. Chinese KMT violence to the fore In other Election-related news, Chen Chen-hui (陳振輝), the KMT 's losing candidate in the Yunlin County town of Huwei (虎尾鎮) did something incredibly stupid. A couple of hours after votes had been counted, Chen showed up at rival Lin Wen-pin's (林文彬, DPP ) campaign headquarters. Chen was drunk and had a gun, and he started s ...
