Taiwan’s election will be an opportunity for voters to choose cross-strait peace or crisis, said Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu, who was nominated as the presidential nominee by the opposition Kuomintang party at the national congress on Sunday.
Han, whose campaign slogan is “Taiwan safe, people rich,” was selected to challenge incumbent Tsai Ing-wen in the presidential poll in January. Representatives agreed to the nomination unanimously, said KMT chairman Wu Den-yih.
