More on Mayor of Taipei
Description from Wikipedia:
The Mayor of Taipei City, located in the Republic of China (Taiwan), was an appointed position from Taipei's conversion to a centrally-administered municipality in 1967, until the first public election held in 1994. The position is of a four-year term. The first democratically elected mayor was Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who is formerly the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Kuomintang's Ma Ying-jeou defeated Chen for the mayoralty in 1998 and was reelected in 2002. In 2006, Kuomintang's Hau Lung-pin was elected mayor. This position had also held a significant role in recent presidential elections. Many felt that due to the visibility of the position and its role which usually implies executive experience, it is often the springboard for running for presidency. The last two presidents, Lee Teng-hui and Chen, as well as the current incumbent Ma, had all held this position prior to being elected.
