The voting for the election of Taiwan authorities' leaders was carried out
across the island on Saturday.
According to the result released by the Taiwan election authorities, Chen
Shui-bian and Annette Lu, candidates for Democratic Progressive Party, won
6,471,970 votes, or 50.11 per cent of the total; while Lien Chan and James
Soong, of the coalition of the Kuomintang and People First Party, won 49.89 per
cent of the votes, totaling 6,442,452.
Lien and Soong made strong announcements immediately after the election to
call into question of the result, saying that "it was an unfair election" and
there were "numerous clouds of suspicions" in the run-up to the election.
The coalition of Lien and Soong demanded that all the ballot boxes be sealed
up and said they were going to "file a petition to nullify the election."
