President-elect and DPP chairperson Tsai Ing-wen says that she will wait until April to appoint Cabinet members for her administration.
She was speaking Wednesday during a workshop for DPP lawmakers.
Tsai said that she is focused on discussing the legislative agenda with lawmakers, and so she will set aside the appointment of Cabinet members for the time being. Rumor has it that former finance minister Lin Chuan will be the next premier.
Tsai defeated Kuomintang presidential candidate Eric Chu during January’s presidential elections, winning more than 56% of the vote. Chu garnered only about 31%.
Under Tsai’s leadership, the DPP has also won a landslide victory in the legislative race. With 68 seats, the DPP now holds the majority in the legislature for the first time.
