William Lai Ching-te from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has won Taiwan’s presidential election.
Lai, the current vice president, was in a three-way race with Hou Yu-ih from the conservative Kuomintang (KMT) and Ko Wen-je from the Taiwan People’s Party.
Hou conceded defeat and congratulated Lai on his victory.
Voters also elected lawmakers to Taiwan’s 113-seat legislature in elections closely watched by China and the United States.
