The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday said that President Chen Shui-bian (???) will win the presidential election by about 160,000 votes against the opposition pan-blue presidential ticket featuring Lien Chan (??) and James Soong (???).

Optimistic about the election, the director of the DPP's Public Opinion Survey Center, Chen Chun-lin (???), yesterday estimated the DPP's Chen-Annette Lu (???) presidential ticket will win a total of 50.6 percent of the votes against 49.4 percent of the blue camp's Lien-Soong ticket.

"The DPP is expected to beat the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and People First Party (PFP) alliance by 167,707 ballots, a 1.2 percent vote difference," Chen said yesterday.
