With slightly more than 210 days left before the presidential election next year, President Ma Ying-jeou formally launched his campaign office last weekend in Taipei. The opening ceremony was filled with a youthful spirit, as displayed in this sprightly dance by a group of female college students. Many KMT heavyweights have attended the event to show their support for Ma, including the party's six vice-chairpersons, and Secretary-General Liao Liao-yi. Ma later gave a sentimental speech about his administration's achievements in the past three years, and expressed strong confidence in winning the upcoming re-election.
