Chen Chen-chung, the Kuomintang nominee and current Huxi Township head, holds the leading position in trader pricing for the November 28 Penghu County magistrate race due to consolidated pan-blue support in a county with historical KMT advantages. The Democratic Progressive Party fielded Wu Shu-chin, wife of the prior magistrate who suffered a debilitating injury in February 2026, while multiple independents including Yeh Chu-lin, Chou Ni-an, Hsu Chih-fu, and Chen Chin-chuan further split the remaining vote. Recent weighted polling averages from mid-2026 show Chen Chen-chung ahead by double digits, reflecting stable voter preferences with limited movement in the final weeks before election day.
