Taipei: Taiwan's main opposition Nationalist Party (KMT) formally declared its candidate, Ma Ying-jeou, the winner in the country's presidential election on Saturday.
Honorary chairman Lien Chan made the declaration as the official vote count was nearly complete, with Ma taking 58 per cent of the tally.
Ma favours closer economic ties and political dialogue with China, which claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control.
