臺灣總統(tǒng)蔡英文周二證實稱，臺南市市長賴清德將成為臺灣的新任行政院院長。

Mr Lai, 57, was expected to take the position after Premier Lin Chuan resigned on Sunday after 15 months in the role. The medical expert has been mayor of Tainan, one of Taiwan’s largest cities, since 2010 and served as a legislator in Taiwan’s parliament from 1999 to 2010.
