Overview

On August 1, 2026, DPP mayoral candidate Shen Bo‑yang began a city‑wide grassroots outreach, criticizing incumbent mayor Chiang Wan‑an for stalled infrastructure, flooding, budget shortfalls and gaps in social services. Shen promoted his “Unlimited City” platform, emphasizing technology‑driven planning and a series of municipal policies.

Four days later, a public poll hosted by 壹蘋新聞網 asked readers to choose between Shen Bo‑yang and Jiang Wan‑an, underscoring the intensifying competition. The poll highlighted Jiang’s focus on food‑safety and a possible cabinet reshuffle, while Shen continued to stress municipal oversight. Open voting until August 6 demonstrated rising voter engagement ahead of the 2026 Taipei mayoral election.
