By Lee I-chia / Staff reporterThe Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) and the People First Party (PFP) could still cooperate while competing in the Jan. 11 legislative elections, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said yesterday. Under the “single-member constituency, two-vote” system, each eligible voter casts two ballots in legislative elections: one for a district candidate and the other for a party. Remarks by TPP and PFP politicians have prompted media speculation about the status of relations between the two parties. Separately yesterday, the NPP, which won 7 percent of overall party votes in the 2016 elections, canvassed in Taichung’s Jianguo Market (建國市場). The NPP received more than 104,000 votes in Taichung, accounting for more than 7 percent of the city’s party votes in 2016.
