Taipei, Nov. 11 (CNA) Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said Sunday that

many of his policies over the past four years have proved effective, mainly because he is not affiliated with any political party, and he promised to build on that success if he is reelected on Nov. 24 for a second term.
In a live television presentation by four of the five Taipei mayoral candidates, Ko said he has changed the city’s political culture since he was elected mayor in 2014 as an independent candidate.
For example, he said, he has been able to recruit talent across party lines and implement reforms that could not be carried by previous mayors of either the Kuomintang (KMT) or Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) because of political party considerations.
In his presentation of his policy proposals for the next four years, Ko did not go in detail, except to say that he will continue to build on his successes if he is reelected. [FULL STORY]
