Taiwan local election campaigning

Overview

Political campaigning for Taiwan’s 2026 local elections has progressed from individual candidate platform launches to broader party mobilization and regional rallies.

In Taoyuan, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has intensified its presence. Mayoral candidate Huang Shih-chieh received an endorsement from Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, who described him as a local figure who understands the needs of families. Huang has criticized the current administration for stagnant development. Concurrently, the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) has officially entered the race in Taoyuan, with four city council candidates completing registration in an effort to establish a formal party caucus by focusing on transportation and childcare. Local efforts also include rallies for City Councilor Chien Lung in the Luzhu District, where supporters emphasized his role in securing public welfare and construction projects.

In Changhua, the DPP continues to organize unified support for candidates Chen Su-yueh and Huang Po-yu. In Fanlu, Xiao Bo-sheng has registered for township mayor, pledging to focus on industry, tourism, and infrastructure.

In Taichung, mayoral candidate and Legislative Yuan Vice President Chiang Chi-chen held a joint meeting in the mountain regions of Dongshi, Shigang, Xinshe, and Heping. Addressing over a thousand supporters, Chiang proposed development plans centered on upgrading agriculture, enhancing cultural tourism, and improving transportation networks, specifically citing infrastructure projects like the Dongfeng Expressway to boost regional connectivity.
