TAIWAN'S election commission yesterday announced new leadership and legislators for the next four years beginning in May.
The commission said that incumbent Taiwan leader and ruling Kuomintang chairman Ma Ying-jeou and his running mate, Wu Den-yih, incumbent chief of the island's executive authority, will be the island's new leader and deputy leader, respectively.
Chang Po-ya, chairwoman of the island's election commission, will deliver certificates to Ma and Wu today.
Last Saturday, Ma comfortably secured a second term in office with a victory in the island's fifth leadership election since 1996.
The 61-year-old defeated the major opposition Democratic Progressive Party Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen and minority People First Party Chairman James Soong in a three-way race. Ma took 51.6 percent of the votes, leading Tsai by nearly 800,000 votes.
Under electoral rules, leadership candidates who collect more than one-third of the total votes are entitled to campaign subsidies to the tune of NT$30 (US$1) per vote. Therefore, Ma and Wu are entitled to an allowance worth NT$206.73 million, while Tsai and her running mate, Su Jia-chyuan, can obtain NT$182.8 million.
Both subsidies are to be received by the political parties they represent, the commission said.
Soong and his running mate, Lin Ruey-shiung, gained only 2.8 percent of the vote, preventing them from receiving their deposit.
Yesterday's election commission meeting also adopted and released a list of the island's 113 legislators.
