Taiwan's Opposition Parties Unite for Joint Presidential Ticket
TL;DR
Taiwan's opposition parties, the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP), have announced a collaboration for the upcoming presidential election in January. The joint ticket aims to challenge the ruling Democratic People's Party (DPP). The collaboration's details will be based on polling results, which will be announced on November 18. The KMT's Hou Yu-ih and the TPP's Ko Wen-je, who have been polling behind the DPP's William Lai, are the presidential candidates. If successful, a KMT-TPP government could shift Taiwan's stance towards Beijing and away from the United States.
