Kuomintang (KMT) figures have been active in local election campaigning across Taiwan. In Pingtung, Cheng Li-wen and Su Ching-chuan held rallies to criticize Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) energy policies, specifically targeting the shift regarding nuclear power and the environmental impact of solar installations on farmland and fishing industries.

In Changhua, Cheng Li-wen was appointed campaign chair for KMT candidate Wei Ping-cheng for the County Magistrate election. Cheng called for unity within the KMT to ensure regional development and accused the DPP’s New Tide faction of using resources to influence local elections.
