Partying with the Blues

Craig March 25th, 2008

The 2008 election season in Taiwan came to an unsurprising conclusion on March 22nd with a resounding win to the KMT (中國國民黨) candidates Ma Ying jeou (馬英九) and running mate Vincent Siew (蕭萬長), ending eight years of DPP rule. Ma and Siew, whose winning margin was 17%, will take office on May 20th, 2008. There’s more than enough commentary and analysis of the election on various media sites and blogs, so I’ll just show you a few pictures from the post-election party in Taipei.
