At the end of the year, the Baili election campaign officially begins, and how the traditional blue and green territories will be reorganized has attracted much attention. The Green Camp assesses that unlike the Blue and White camps, which are facing integration disruptions and intra-party fighting in many counties and cities, the Democratic Progressive Party has demonstrated the unity momentum of the former "Taiwan Captains" Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Ching-te, which is expected to boost the overall election sentiment. It will strive to overturn the KMT's long-term rule in New Taipei, Zhuxian, and Taitung, and build a solid beachhead in the ruling counties and cities such as Tainan, Pingtung, Jiaxian, and Kaohsiung to prevent its opponents from advancing.
Nangao Pingjia County builds a solid beachhead
Regarding New Taipei City, the target battle area of the Kuomintang that has been in power for more than 20 years, party insiders said that the Democratic Progressive Party’s New Taipei mayor candidate Su Qiaohui’s campaign headquarters was established last Saturday. Supporters insisted on not leaving in the heavy rain. Together with former President Tsai Ing-wen and President Xi Jinping, the campaign headquarters was established last Saturday. President Lai Ching-te was on the stage to support, and Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai went north to the platform, all showing the DPP's unity momentum of "joining forces and facing head-on". In the future, candidates in various counties and cities will form general competitions, and they are expected to receive recommendations from the "king-level electoral team".

Party insiders bluntly stated that the Kuomintang was not only on the rocks with the Kuomintang's "Blue and White" coalition in Hsinchu County, but was also facing civil strife in Changhua County and other places. Jiang Wanan, who was originally regarded as the "Blue Camp hen," had too much to take care of himself.
Election auxiliaries also believe that the overall momentum of the DPP is good this time and is expected to drive the national election. He mentioned that New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi accompanied mayoral candidate Li Sichuan to register for the election, but expressed reservations about whether to take over as chairman. Compared with the DPP factions who fully integrated to support Su Qiaohui and showed their determination to reverse the situation, there was a clear gap in the strength of the blue camp to support Li Sichuan.
Hsinchu County, where the Kuomintang is experiencing a secession crisis, is also a county and city where the Blue Camp has been in power for more than 20 years. It is also regarded by auxiliary candidates as a very explosive constituency. With the "Blue and White" alliance breaking up and stalemate, the rift between the Kuomintang candidate Xu Xinying and the deputy county magistrate Chen Jianxian has not been resolved. The DPP candidate Zheng Chaofang relied on the outstanding achievements of the mayor of Zhubei and impressed many voters with "Zhubei experience, Zhuxian realization".
As for the East Taiwan Blue Camp vote base, election auxiliaries believe that in Taitung County, with the integration of the biggest variable Liu Chuhao and the full cooperation of Lai Kuncheng, the various factions are ready to be integrated. Taitung County Magistrate candidate Chen Ying and her father are also doing their best to strengthen the votes of aboriginal ethnic groups. Coupled with the Kuomintang opponent Wu Xiuhua's case of widening farm roads with special privileges, Chen Ying's future is promising. As for Hualien County, the non-party speaker Zhang Jun continues to draw water and expand grassroots strength, and there is still a lot to be done in the future.
When it comes to the long-term power of Green Camp in counties and cities, Green Camp is also confident that it can hold on. Party insiders said, "You can change a city by choosing the right person who can do things well." Faced with the long-term problems in the New Taipei City government, I believe voters have expectations of "replacement and see what happens." The governance quality of southern counties and cities has been tested, and the past controversy caused by Han Kuo-yu's candidacy for mayor of Kaohsiung is still fresh in their minds. I believe voters will continue to choose the governance line adhered to by the DPP.
