The <entity_0> was held on <entity_3> to elect the 10th-term President and Vice-<entity_1> under the 1947 Constitution. Though more popular and consistently ranked higher in the polls, the outspoken former <entity_6> Governor <entity_4> failed to gain the Kuomintang's nomination. Having run for the <entity_2> on a radical independence platform and lost by a landslide, the DPP in May 1999 moderated its stance by issuing the "Resolution on the Future of <entity_6>." Under the first-past-the-post voting system, the split of the KMT vote between <entity_4> and <entity_5>, who together polled nearly 60% of the vote (compared to Chen's 39%), played a large role in the <entity_6> independence-leaning candidate Chen's victory.
