Taiwan opposition to team up for parliamentary elections

The parties say more discussions are needed on a joint ticket for a presidential vote.

TAIPEI: Taiwan’s two main opposition parties said on Monday they will team up for parliamentary elections in January in a bid to win more seats but said more discussions are needed on a joint ticket for a presidential vote.

The issue of China, which views self-ruled Taiwan as its territory, looms over the Jan 13 parliamentary and presidential elections. It has stepped up military and political pressure to press the island to accept its sovereignty claim, which Taiwan rejects. The KMT and TPP, which have been discussing the possibility of teaming up, said after a meeting between their leaders on Monday they would “support each other and maximize seats” in parliament to “deepen democracy”.
