1984 Taiwanese presidential election
The 7th President and Vice President election of the Republic of China was held in Taiwan on March 21, 1984 at the Chung-Shan Building in Taipei. Incumbent President Chiang Ching-kuo was re-elected by the National Assembly of the Republic of China for the second term with Governor of Taiwan Province Lee Teng-hui.
Incumbent Vice-President Hsieh Tung-min decided not to seek for his second term due to old age. The then Governor of Taiwan Province Lee Teng-hui, also a Taiwan-born Kuomintang member, was picked Chiang's running-mate. Chiang received 1,012 out of 1,064 votes while Lee received 873 votes. Chiang would later die in office in 1988 and was succeeded by Lee.Source: Schafferer, Christian. The Power of the Ballot Box: Political Development and Election Campaigning in Taiwan.
