Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Pasuya Yao (姚文智) yesterday said he would today officially announce his plan to run in next year’s Taipei mayoral election.

Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said that Yao is within his rights to run in the election.

“A mayor is the CEO of the city, and whether they have the ability to make the city a better one through their management skills should be the main point of the election,” Yao said on Facebook.

Yao said that he would share his vision for Taipei at the Taipei International Convention Center at 3pm today, and invited anyone who is concerned about Taipei’s future to join him.    [FULL  STORY]
