Green Party Preliminary 2010 Taipei City Council Election Results

These images taken from the Central Election Commission at 10.30pm.  Excellent results for the Green Party.  No-one got elected but four of the five candidates will have their deposits returned.

Taipei Constituency 2 - Li Ying-hsuan



Taipei Constituency 3 - Pan Han-sen



Taipei Constituency 5 - Song Jia-lun



Taipei Constituency 6 - Zhang Hong-lin



Xinbei Constituency 1 - Wang Zhong-ming


Looks like KMT won Taipei, Xinbei and Taichung (in order of margins of win).  Taichung has gone very close tonight - within 3% points which represents a huge success given media polls were giving Hu a much large margin in the run up to the election.  Looks like the big upset is Hau winning in Taipei.  The DPP have taken Tainan and Kaohsiung by huge margins - the others not even coming close but it looks like the KMT are still strong in the new Kaohsiung Municipal council.  In Taichung it is the reverse with the DPP gaining council seats but not overall control.

I'm waiting to see further concrete results and analysis before commenting more.
