Description
Han Kuo-yu, a former mayor and presidential candidate of the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party, was elected as speaker of Taiwan's new parliament on Thursday.
The vote marks a political comeback for Han, who was ousted as mayor of southern Kaohsiung city in 2020, a few months after his unsuccessful bid to challenge President Tsai Ing-wen.
Han had campaigned for closer ties with China during the presidential race against Tsai, who pledged to defend Taiwan's sovereignty against threats from Beijing. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
