Taiwan Election 2024: Vote Counting Begins as World Watches

Taiwan Election 2024 Vote Counting Begins as World Watches
Vote counting began in a tight three-way presidential race that will determine the island democracy’s future, including its ties with Washington and Beijing.

TAIPEI—Vote counting began across Taiwan on Saturday as polls closed in the race to choose a new president in an unpredictable three-way race being closely watched in Washington, Beijing and other capitals around the world.

President Tsai Ing-wen, a frequent target of Beijing’s ire, is due to step down in May because of term limits after eight years in power. Whoever takes on the top job will face stiff challenges, both domestically and internationally, amid geopolitical uncertainty.
