Taipei Mayoral Elections

Chen Chu of DPP was elected mayor of Kaohsiung, defeating the major rival, Kuomintang's Huang Chun-ying.

Huang contested the result, claiming that there had been voting irregularities and Chen had violated election law by holding press conferences and rallies well after the lawful time limit, and attacked him during this time period with unconfirmed information. Huang also filed the twin "Annulment of Election Result" and "Annulment of Election" law suits with Kaohsiung District Court on the same day Chen was proclaimed Mayor-Elected. Subsequently, the court ordered a complete recount of the votes, starting on March 12, 2007 and completed six days later on March 18. The result of the recount would be used as evidences in the law suits.

On June 15 the Kaohsiung District Court reached the decision to annulled the results of the Kaohsiung City Mayor Election, while dismissed the "Annulment of Election" law suit. Chen had since filed the appeal to the decision of "Annulment of Election Result" [ http://asia.news.yahoo.com/070615/afp/070615151323asiapacificnews.html "Taiwan court annuls Kaohsiung mayor's election victory" June 16, 2007 AFP via Yahoo! News] , while Huang also filed the appeal to the decision of "Annulment of Election" law suit. The appealed decision will be the final decision on this matter according to ROC laws. On November 16, 2007, the High Court overturned the earlier decision and validated Chen's election victory.
