Former Taiwan People's Party Chairman Ko Wenzhe said today that the 2026 election will depend on New Taipei City and Kaohsiung City. If the Democratic Progressive Party captures New Taipei City, Chinese Kuomintang Chairman Cheng Lai-wen will step down, but if the blue camp captures Kaohsiung, Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Lai Qingde will probably need to be replaced.
Ko Wenzhe, Kaohsiung City Councilor candidate Lin Yukai of the People’s Party, and Ke Zhien, the Kaohsiung mayoral candidate of the Kuomintang, were sweeping the streets at Yangming Market in Kaohsiung’s Sanmin District in the morning. Some people enthusiastically shouted "Good morning, Abei" to Ke Wenzhe. They shook hands and took photos with vendors along the way, and some merchants sent radishes to bless the candidates.

Ke Zhien talked about the saying "This is the same as Ke", saying that gender and political parties are different, but they are still pragmatic and straightforward. For example, Ko Wenzhe directly faces problems and seeks solutions, which is welcomed by young people. He is willing to work with Ko Wenzhe to help Lin Yukai, so that Lin Yukai can get more votes, win more people's recognition, and be successfully elected. "Blue and White is about unity, and future election strategies and methods will be more direct."
"I think you are still fighting too boringly," Ko Wenzhe said. No war is fought defensively. He suggested that Ko Zhien find People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang to be the director-general of the campaign.
