Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was handed a rebuke
in the island's 2018 midterm elections on Saturday, with voters showing
widespread dissatisfaction with the party's handling of affairs over the
past two years. The DPP, which had seen significant victories since
Taiwan's 2014 midterms, lost heavily on November 24, losing in seven of
the 13 counties and cities up for grabs. Particularly devastating were
the series of defeats suffered in the island's south, the traditional
stronghold of the DPP.
