Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen announced her resignation Saturday as head of the Democratic Progressive Party after the party suffered a “crushing defeat” in local government elections, according to state media.
According to CNA, Tsai said while her administration is moving in the right direction, the election results were proof that the Taiwanese people are setting a higher standard for their government.
The pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party is expected to undergo a “major reshuffle” soon, Tsai said, to prepare for the challenges ahead, CNA reported.
