台湾、立法院選でも民進党が初の単独過半数 

台湾の立法院（国会、定数113）選挙が16日投開票され、最大野党・民進党が躍進した。議席数を改選前の40から大きく伸ばし68議席を獲得、初めて過半数（57議席）を上回った。同日の総統選で大勝した蔡英文氏の指揮のもとで議会運営でも優位に立つ。一方、「時代力量（時代の力）」などの新政党も若者の支持を背景に存在感を高めた。

　中央選挙委員会や各党の発表によると民進党は小選挙区（計73議席）で49議席、比例区（計34）や別枠の先住民区（計６）で19議席を得た。支持基盤の南部に加え、国民党の地盤の台北市など北部でも得票を伸ばした。

　民進党は与党だった2000～08年の陳水扁政権時代に立法院の過半の議席を得られず、少数与党として議会運営で苦労した経緯がある。過半獲得は1986年の結党以来の悲願だった。与党・国民党は経済政策への不満などを背景に議席数を改選前の64から35まで減らし、総統選と同じく大敗を喫した。
