DPP Secures Presidency in Taiwanese Election

Taiwan election points to status quo: As expected, the independence-leaning DPP secured the presidency for the third time in a row as their candidate Lai Ching-te won by a 6.7 percentage points margin to KMT's Hou Yu-ih. However, Lai's victory was smaller than his predecessor Tsai Ing-wen and DPP lost the majority in the parliament. Hence Lai is ruling with a weaker mandate than Tsai Ing-wen
