- ↑ Non-KMT Movement was a broad church liberal movement that opposed KMT's party-state rule until the formation of the DPP in 1986. It had both Taiwanese independence supporters and anti-independence liberals. It also had some former members of the Taiwanese People's Party (Taiwanese Tridemists who were betrayed by Chiang Kai-shek) Many of the non-KMT affiliated independent candidates of the movement were elected in Taiwan in provisional elections even during the martial law era. Some former members of the
Taiwanese People’s Party joined the movement to oppose Chiang Kai-shek authoritarian regime.
- ↑ Tsai Ing-wen's tenure will end in 20 May, 2024. However as per recent edit, she is still the incumbent President of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
