    The KMT won 52 seats, but with two independents that are KMT in all but name and caucus with them, they have 54 seats. The DPP won 51 seats and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) won eight, leaving no party with a majority of 57.

    So does that mean they have to form a coalition government or what? Could DPP and TPP form a government with their total 58 seats? How likely is that?

      From what I understand, the TPP is closer to the KMT than to the DPP. They have refused to form a coalition, but they abstained so that the KMT could get the Speaker and Deputy Speaker posts. Also the DPP won the presidency, so the legislature and executive are now led by different parties.
