Candidates from Chen's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party and its ally, the Taiwan Solidarity Union?known collectively as the "green" camp?won only 101 out of 225 seats in the fiercely fought contest. The winner: the "blue" Kuomintang- or KMT-led opposition, which favors eventual reunification with China, managed to retain a slim majority by securing 114 seats, just one more than it previously held. KMT chairman Lien Chan emerged from his office...
