The drama of the proposed Ma-Wang ticket came to an end Thursday as Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng declined Kuomintang presidential nominee Ma Ying-jeou‘s invitation to be his running mate, saying he prefers to stay in the lawmaking body.

The two made known their intentions after a closed-door meeting at Wang’s residence at noon. [Full Text]
