Of these, 73 seats for the Legislative Yuan represented Taiwan Province and the special municipalities of Taipei and Kaohsiung and were to be elected directly. The remaining 27 seats for the Legislative Yuan represented overseas nationals and were appointed by the President. Results Turnout for the supplementary election of the National Assembly was 65.1% and for the Legislative Yuan 65.4%. Of the newly elected members to the National Assembly 68 belonged to the Kuomintang, 11 to the Democratic Progressive Party (running as independents), one to the Chinese Youth Party and four were independents. Of the 73 directly elected delegates to the Legislative Yuan 59 belonged to the Kuomintang, 12 to Democratic Progressive Party (running as independents) and two were independent. All chosen were born Taiwanese except for 8 in the National Assembly and 3 in the Legislative Yuan, who were born on the Mainland or from parents from the Mainland. This was the first time the Democratic Progressive Party organized much of the Tangwai forces into a political party and contested in elections as such, defying the Kuomintang government's ban on the formation of new political parties under the Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of Communist Rebellion.https://www.peoplenews.tw/news/36bd149d-47ac-43b1-b701-d48f551ce878 30年前，當民進黨與國民黨第一次黨對黨決戰 邱萬興 Taiwan People News(民報) 2016-10-07 zh-tw 2022-01-11 Legislative Yuan File:1986 Legislative Yuan Election.svg Kuomintang 79 –4 Democratic Progressive PartyDPP Running as independents 12 New Chinese Youth Party 2 0 China Democratic Socialist Party 1 0 Independents 6 –6 7515747 207266 11814315 +2 Nohlen et al., People News National Assembly File:1986 National Assembly (Republic of China) Election.svg Kuomintang 68 +7 Democratic Progressive PartyDPP 11 New China Democratic Socialist Party 1 0 Independents 4 –10 7422398 291994 11790344 +8 Nohlen et al., People News Notes References Further reading Copper John 2003 Taiwan: Nation-State or Province?
