Defeated China-friendly Taiwan mayor says he won't contest loss

A high-profile, China-friendly Taiwan mayor who lost a recall election last week said on Tuesday he would not contest the vote in the courts, smoothing the way for an election for his replacement. Han Kuo-yu from the main opposition party the Kuomintang, or KMT, lost Saturday's recall vote by a huge margin, though he had called on his supporters to boycott it. Han was the party's presidential candidate in January, and also lost by a wide margin.
