The political opposition movement Erkin O’zbekiston congratulates Mr Lai and the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan on their convincing victory in the fair and just presidential election held on 13 January.

Respecting the free will of the Taiwanese people, we congratulate all voters who participated in the presidential election and cast their votes for freedom, democracy and progress! It is an indisputable fact that Taiwan is a sovereign and independent nation!

We hope that the successful democratic presidential election in Taiwan will be a striking example of the consolidation of oppressed peoples in their endeavour to exercise their inalienable rights to self-determination.
