Lai Ching-te has won Taiwan's presidential election with 40% of the vote, securing an unprecedented third term for his Democratic Progressive Party, though the party lost its majority in the legislature. TaiwanPlus brings a full roundup of Saturday's election, international reaction to the result, and the challenges that lie ahead for the incoming administration.

- Among the election winners on Saturday was the country's first openly LGBTQ+ legislator.
- TaiwanPlus follows a young woman going to vote for the first time.
- Sightseers looking for a different kind of day out can take a three-hour trip on an icebreaker to swim in the icy waters on the edge of the Arctic Circle.
