TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – At the Kuomintang’s final campaign rally Friday evening, President Ma Ying-jeou asked supporters to vote for presidential candidate Eric Liluan Chu in the January 16 elections.

Campaigning for Saturday’s presidential and legislative elections should not go beyond 10 p.m. according to official regulations. All three major candidates have scheduled large-scale final events, with Chu staging his in Banqiao, the district where he usually goes to work as mayor of New Taipei City.

Chu himself spent Friday traveling in a motorcade with his wife through the streets of Taipei City before venturing down to Taichung in Central Taiwan, a key battle area between the Democratic Progressive Party-oriented South and the usually pro-KMT North.     [FULL  STORY]
