The 2026-2020 local elections are heating up, especially the mayoral and county magistrate elections, which are considered "midterm confidence votes" in the presidential and legislative elections, making their importance self-evident. Taipei and New Taipei City are naturally the focus of this major battleground. The DPP's nominees, Su Chiao-hui and Shen Po-yang, are not only alumni of the National Taiwan University's law department but also pursued their law master's degrees at the University of Pennsylvania during the same period. Now they are fighting side-by-side in the Legislative Yuan. Shen Po-yang, though a political newcomer, has rapidly gained popularity due to his sharp analytical skills and policy abilities; Su Chiao-hui, on the other hand, has ten years of experience in the legislature, rising from a rookie legislator to become the DPP's "mother hen" in their campaign for New Taipei City, aiming to revitalize the city. In Kaohsiung, Mayor Chen Chi-mai enjoys a 75.9% approval rating. To continue the party's achievements, the DPP nominated legislator Lai Jui-lung, who has ten years of experience in city government and the legislature, to succeed him, hoping to continue Kaohsiung's development vision.
