TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Representatives from various political parties gathered on Wednesday (Dec. 20) ahead of Taiwan's 2024 Legislative Election to determine the party vote ballot order through a drawing of lots. Among them were Kuomintang (KMT) nominee Han Kuo-yu and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) nominee Huang Shan-shan.

A total of 16 political parties are competing for seats through the party vote ballot.
