Taiwan premier offers to resign over election setback
-
TAIPEI : Taiwan Premier Frank Hsieh has offered to resign to take responsibility for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) defeat in weekend local elections, cabinet spokesman Chuo Jung-tai has said.
"The premier tendered his oral resignation when he reported to President Chen Shui-bian last night," Chuo said Sunday, adding that the premier made the same offer again Sunday.
But Chen has not decided whether to accept his resignation, saying that "at this moment, priority should be given to political stability," the president was quoted as saying by Chuo.
Su Chen-chang Saturday resigned as DPP chairman after it won less than 42 percent of the vote compared to the almost 51 percent secured by the opposition Kuomintang party (KMT) on Saturday.
The KMT won 14 of the 23 posts up for grabs, against only six for the DPP.
Compounding the damage for Chen and the ruling party, which faces presidential elections in 2008, the nationalist KMT won traditional DPP strongholds such as Taipei county, Ilan county and Chiayi city. -
guomingtang will win the next presidential election.
hopefully mayingjiu become the next president. -
