Ep 274 | Our Post Presidential Election Analysis 2024 in Taiwan with Courtney Donovan Smith
Manage episode 398584887 series 2769920
As part of Talking Taiwan’s Election Tour, we spoke with Courtney Donovan Smith a week after Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections. Lai Ching-te of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was elected president with 40.05% of the vote. Hou Yu-ih the Kuomintang’s (KMT) presidential candidate got 33.49% of the vote and Ko Wen-je of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) got 26.46%. It was the first time in Taiwan’s history that any political party has been elected for three consecutive four-year terms in office.

The DPP won an unprecedented third presidential term but lost its majority in the legislature. We talked about how ballot counting in Taiwan is highly transparent and also about how the Taiwan People’s Party could have a crucial role in the legislature, and if the TPP will suffer the same fate as Taiwan’s other third parties
Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:
· Reflections on the 2024 election compared to past elections
· How the election of Lai Ching-te has earned the DPP an unprecedented third term in office
· How Terry Guo had expressed interest in running for president
· The opposition unity ticket deal that fell through
· Taiwan’s first direct presidential election in 1996
· How ballots are counted in Taiwan
· How voting is done in Taiwan
· Donovan’s thoughts on if the Taiwan People’s Party will survive as a third party
· Taiwan’s third political parties and what has happened to them
· The 2000 election in which Lien Chan was the KMT presidential candidate and James Soong ran as an independent presidential candidate
· The origin of the terms “Pan Green” and “Pan Blue
· The possibility that Hou You-yi could be recalled as mayor of New Taipei City
· Comparing the recall of Hou You-yi with the recall of Han Kuo-yu
· What the election results tell us about how people feel about the Democratic Progressive Party
