TAIPEI: Hundreds of opposition supporters rallied in Taipei to protest four more years of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rule on Sunday (May 19), the day before Taiwan inaugurates president-elect Lai

People hold up guavas as they take part in a protest ahead of the inauguration ceremony of Taiwan 's president-elect Lai Ching-te. TAIPEI: Hundreds of opposition supporters rallied in Taipei to protest four more years of Democratic Progressive Party rule on Sunday , the day before Taiwan inaugurates

Taiwan's biggest opposition group, the Kuomintang - which has historically been regarded as friendlier to China - received one more seat than the DPP, while the upstart Taiwan People's Party gained the role of kingmaker with eight seats. Protester Samuel Chuang, 35, said a lot of young people voted for DPP candidate Tsai Ing-wen back in 2016.

Leader Ko had also proposed his party as a"middle" path between the DPP - which staunchly defends Taiwan's sovereignty against China - and KMT, regarded by younger Taiwanese to be overly cosy with Beijing.
