2 Taiwan Development Perspectives 2009 I. Presidential Election of 2008 Voters turned out in droves on March 22, 2008 to elect their president and vice president for the next four years. Ma Ying-Jeou, standard bearer of the Kuomintang, was elected president. He and his running mate, Vincent Siew, received 7,659,014 votes or 58.45 percent of the votes cast to handily defeat their Democratic Progressive Party rivals Frank Hsieh and Su Tseng-chang. It was a crowning success. The Kuomintang won the important local elections in 2006 and a landslide in the legislative elections in January 2008. The Kuomintang is in full control of the government. When Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party was elected president in 2000, people in Taiwan expected him to introduce a government free of corruption and graft and usher in a new era of prosperity. They were let down. The administration in the eight years that followed made little improvement in the life of the people. Worse still, President Chen and his family were embroiled in corruption and graft. Moreover, he resorted to brinksmanship to confront China and his de-Sinicization campaign further polarized Taiwan, destroying its communal harmony all but beyond repairs, in his all-out effort to get reelected in 2004. All this paved the way for the easy Kuomintang victory. (See the tables below for the results of the presidential election of 2008.)

Neither of them affected the election in any way. The outcome signifies Taiwan’s becoming a mature democracy in eight years, the voters strengthening their anti-corruption determination, and the people desiring to get out of the current economic downturn. 1. Democratic Consolidation Power changed hands in eight years from 2000 to 2008. Middle-of-the road voters increased in numbers.
