Chiang Wan-an holds the leading position in the Taipei mayoral race ahead of the November 28 election, reflecting traders’ assessment of the city’s traditional KMT base and his incumbency advantages in infrastructure, urban renewal, and economic initiatives. Puma Shen has narrowed the gap in recent polling through focused campaigning on policy details and voter outreach, though support for minor candidates remains negligible. The contest features debates on urban development and public services, with both sides emphasizing childcare, housing, and city resilience. Scheduled events including candidate marches and rallies in the final weeks could influence turnout and undecided voters in this closely watched local contest.
