The 2026 New Taipei mayoral battle is about to break out. DPP Chairman Lai Qingde has promised that “the primary election will not be confiscated.” A civil war in the Green camp is imminent. The chairman of the local Democratic Progressive Party party branch who registered to run for office today affects the layout of counties and mayors in 2026. In order to win the first metropolitan area in Taiwan, former Legislator Yu Tian of the National Assembly and Su Qiaohui, a legislator of the Soviet faction, did not hesitate to fight. The National Assembly took action. The local interpretation “paved the way” for the mayor of New Taipei City, Lin Youchang, the Minister of the Interior.

The personnel of Lai Ching-te’s cabinet is gradually becoming clearer. Lin Jialong, the head of the National Assembly, and Lin Youchang, the second-in-command, are unofficially appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary-General of the Party. However, Chen Maosong, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, once heavily criticized Zhu Zhuo Rongtai for “don’t be too harsh”, which highlighted some aspects. Members of the National Assembly are aggrieved by this personnel arrangement. Faction figures said that “this is human nature” to gain living space and autonomy through the 2026 local election war.

In recent days, Lin Youchang has been frequently inspecting the two provinces as a central official, visiting temples in New Taipei City, expressing condolences to police officers in the branch, and even taking photos with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi and other blue-camp princes, giving people a sense of a strong intention. Heart. When Lin Youchang was the mayor of Keelung in 2021, he proposed two merger plans for the North-North Keelung Administrative Region, proposing to be integrated into “Greater Keelung City or Beihai City” and “Greater Taipei City”. He also proposed to former Taipei City Mayor Ke Wenzhe He shouted, “If you are willing, you can elect a new mayor of Greater Taipei.”

Although Lin Jialong lost 450,000 votes to Hou Youyi in New Taipei in 2022, the grassroots level of the National Congress is deeply rooted and there is still a chance to compete for the mayor’s seat. Earlier this year, Lin Jialong and Lin Youchang attended a New Taipei local gathering together, which attracted attention. Members of the National Assembly said that before May 20th, it was a sensitive moment. If Lin Youchang announced his candidacy for mayor of New Taipei City in advance, it would “undoubtedly be a suicidal act.” Moreover, Lin will take over the position of party secretary-general and will carry the sedan chair to assist in the election of counties and cities in the future. The action will change. Keep a low profile, although both North and South have the opportunity to run for office, they still need to coordinate.

However, New Taipei is the stronghold of Su Zhenchang, the former president of the Executive Yuan. Su Qiaohui is actively campaigning for the mayor of New Taipei City.

Lai Qingde Attitude is still the biggest key.
