Taiwanese political candidates intensify campaigns in Taipei and Kaohsiung
Taiwanese political figures are actively campaigning across major cities. In Taipei, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Shen Boyang revealed that he sought guidance from Party Chairman Lai Ching-te regarding his lack of electoral experience following his nomination. Recent online polling indicates Shen leads Jiang Wan-an in the Taipei mayoral race with approximately 64% support.
In Kaohsiung, political activity is intensifying. KMT candidate Ko Chih-en has received support from figures such as Lee Sichuan, who remarked on the intensity of Taiwan's political landscape. Meanwhile, Taipei Mayor Jiang Wan-an acknowledged the visible progress in Kaohsiung, prompting a response from the Kaohsiung City Government highlighting significant improvements in economic indicators, air quality, and industrial growth under Mayor Chen Chi-mai.
Campaigning has also seen cross-regional cooperation, with Shen Boyang and Lai Rui-long holding joint events in Kaohsiung to engage with local voters.
