Lee Teng-Hwei Promises More Reforms After Election Setback --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Huijie <CHENH@IUBACS> Source: AP News TAIPEI, Taiwan - President Lee Teng-hui Wednesday promised more democratic reforms after the ruling Nationalist Party's setback in Taiwan's first multiparty elections. He acknowledged a decline in his party's credibility. The Nationalists suffered their worst losses in 40 years in power in Saturday's balloting. The party lost several key local county executive posts and garnered 58% of the total vote, down from 70% in 1986. ''The decision made by the voters was not a coincidence,'' Lee told the party's Central Standing Committee, ''It indicates the various reform measures undertaken by the government in recent years had failed to meet the public's expectations.'' Opposition supporters ended 4 days of massive demonstrations against alleged vote fraud after a recount began. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Executive Editor: Yaxiong Lin E_mail: aoyxl@asuacvax.bitnet | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ========================================================================== News Transmission chi@vlsi.uwaterloo.ca (or) -------------------- --------------------- Local Editor: Bo Chi chi@vlsi.waterloo.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 7 10:47:11 EST 1989
