Opposition Divided In Taiwan's Presidential Election

The deadline for candidates to register in Taiwan’s presidential election is just days away, and the opposition is in disarray. Having failed to come to a consensus on a joint presidential candidate, there are doubts on the ability of the two main opposition parties - the KMT and the TPP - to unseat the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. Brian Hioe, Co-Founding Editor of New Bloom Magazine shares his insights and what this means for the elections come January next year.
