| Taiwan sets date for poll recount |
| 2004-04-22 |
| A recount of Taiwan's controversial presidential election will begin on 10 May, the High Court has announced. "It is hoped the recount will be completed in 10 days," said spokesman Wen Yao-yuan on Wednesday. The next presidential term begins on 20 May, and analysts fear violent protests if the dispute between the two main parties is not resolved by then. Current President Chen Shui-bian won the March election by a narrow margin, but the opposition disputes the result. |
