By Hsu Kuo-chen, Liu Hsiao-hsin and Jason Pan / Staff reportersPresident Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) campaign schedule yesterday took her to central Taiwan, where she stumped for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislative candidates while calling on voters to “support the DPP one more time” in Jan. 11’s presidential and legislative elections. Tsai, who is seeking re-election, touted the performance of her administration as she zigzagged between events in Nantou and Changhua counties, canvassing for votes. In the evening, Tsai attended a rally in Taichung hosted by a group of female doctors who support her. “Women traditionally do not organize themselves in groups during Taiwan’s elections, so I very much cherish this effort, with a big force to support me,” she said. “It is quite special, as female doctors are seen as dispassionate, rational and working in dignity.”“With so many female doctors standing up in support, calling for my re-election, we can feel that our country has reached a crucial moment in time,” she added.
