They are Tsai Ying Wen the leader of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Eric Chu who represents the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT) and James Soong from the People First Party (PFP). According to pre-election opinion polls, Tsai Ying Wen's popularity rating is the highest, much greater than that of Eric Chu and his party that is currently in power. The third competitor James Soong's influence is relatively insignificant. Therefore, people are expecting that the opposition party, the DPP, will defeat the KMT. The result of this ongoing campaign seems quite predictable.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV492-January-2016-" rel="directory">IV492 - January 2016</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Taiwan-+" rel="tag">Taiwan</a>
