Taiwan's new chief administrator, Mao Chi-kuo, and other officials from the administrative authority have been sworn in.

Mao officially took over from Jiang Yi-huah who resigned soon after the ruling Kuomintang party suffered heavy losses in the island's biggest-ever local elections.

Mao vowed to increase communication with the legislative authority, pay attention to the people's demands and take effective action to help young people fulfill their dreams.

"To have the cooperation between different generations, we have to understand the hopes and dreams of the younger generations. Only through this new knowledge can we achieve something meaningful."

Taiwan's deputy leader, Wu Den-yih, has urged Mao and his team to make sweeping reforms to regain public trust in the incumbent party.

Wu is now the acting chairman of the KMT party after the island's leader Ma Ying-jeou resigned.
