The mayor of Taipei said on Thursday he will form a political party to run in Taiwan's 2020 elections, a move that could complicate President Tsai Ing-wen's re-election bid and shake up the political landscape amid heightened tension with China.
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je said he will set up the Taiwanese People's Party in early August in a bid to run in the presidential and legislative elections in January.
