Taiwan's ruling party has won a crucial presidential election that it billed as a choice between democracy and authoritarianism.
It's a setback for China, which had warned voters on the self-ruled island against re-electing the DPP - a party it views as dangerous separatists.
The election has drawn global attention for how it will affect ties with China, which claims Taiwan as its own.
Lai Ching-te received more than 40 per cent of the vote.
He was followed by KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih with over 30 per cent, and TPP candidate Ko Wen-je with over 25 per cent.
