Taipei, Jan. 9 (CNA) With less than 36 hours left before the polls open, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) on Thursday night called on her supporters not to doubt choosing the path of reform or to underestimate her rivals.

Tsai of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is running for a second term against Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) of the Kuomintang (KMT) and James Soong (宋楚瑜) of the People First Party.

Addressing a DPP rally for Tsai and legislative candidate Chen Ou-po (陳歐珀) in Yilan County, Tsai noted that Han's camp recently bought a series of TV commercials and made numerous phone calls to push for votes, which she said demonstrates the KMT has huge resources and betrays Han's self-styled image as an "average Joe."

She urged her supporters to continue to believe in their own choice at a time when the KMT is trying to drown out the voice of reform.    [FULL  STORY]
