The Taiwan Work Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council issued a statement Saturday saying that the so-called "peace referendum" held by the Taiwan authorities goes against the will of the people and is doomed to failure.

The statement says: "On March 20, the Taiwan authorities willfully held the so-called 'peace referendum' in a provocative attempt to undermine cross-Straits relations and split the motherland. The referendum turned out to be invalid. Facts have proven that this illegal act goes against the will of the people. Any attempt to separate Taiwan from China is doomed to failure."

"We are closely following the developments," said the spokesman in response to the a request for comment on the disputes in Taiwan leader election.

The voting for the election of Taiwan authorities' leaders was carried out across the island on Saturday. According to the result released by the Taiwan election authorities, Chen Shui-bian and Annette Lu, candidates for the Democratic Progressive Party, won 6,471,970 votes, or 50.11 percent of the total; while Lien Chan and James Soong, of the coalition of the Kuomintang and People First Party, won 49.89 percent of the votes, totaling 6,442,452.

Lien and Soong made strong announcements immediately after the election to call into question of the result, saying that "it was an unfair election" and there were "numerous clouds of suspicions "in the run-up to the election.

The coalition of Lien and Soong demanded that all the ballot boxes be sealed up and said they were going to "file a petition to nullify the election."
