Voting in Taiwan’s election closed today at 4 p.m. Taipei time (3 a.m. New York time), with incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) taking an early lead on Han Kuo-yu of the Kuomintang (KMT), according to key television networks. Seats in the Legislative Yuan—where the DPP also holds a majority—are on the ballot as well.Starting in 2012, legislative elections have been held simultaneously with presidential ones. A constitutional amendment reforming the Legislative Yuan was passed in 2005 and since then the party that controlled Taiwan’s executive branch also controlled its legislative assembly.
