Lai, Xiao and Cai select three major auxiliary forces to advance and attack separately
The year-end election is regarded as a "mid-term test" for the Lai Ching-te government, affecting the layout of the 2028 general election. It is understood that the Green Camp maintains a stable advantage in the south of Chiayi County. Yilan County, Hsinchu County, Changhua County and Chiayi City are expected to rewrite the ruling map. As for New Taipei City, the country's largest vote base, as well as Taipei, Keelung, Taichung and fierce fighting areas, they are the focus of expanding the results.
Party insiders estimate that Shen Boyang's "ocean current" momentum not only consolidates traditional supporters, but also extends to central voters and attracts the return of young people, which is especially significant in northern Taiwan and Taichung and other urban constituencies. However, in constituencies where the blue-green base is relatively solid, the key to converting popularity into votes is whether it can attract unconventional voters and increase young people's willingness to vote.
It is understood that Shen Boyang plans to support Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun during the golden week before the election, hoping to combine the "ocean current" and the "welcome tide" to create a synergistic effect; Hsinchu, Keelung and Taoyuan will also arrange to join forces again due to their proximity to Taipei, and considering the characteristics of the candidates and the space for future urban governance and policy cooperation. The party hopes to use this to boost electoral sentiment and deepen policy linkage between cities through municipal issues.
Be wary of fear and make every effort to expand the median vote
However, cross-district election campaign must still take into consideration Taipei’s native district. In an interview, Wu Siyao, the director-general of Shen Boyang's campaign, explained that a two-way linkage strategy will be adopted. In addition to going to other counties and cities in person, Shen Boyang will also invite local candidates to Taipei to share the stage. She reminded that the heavyweights of the Kuomintang gathered in Taipei, and Blue and White also increased their cooperation efforts, which may have an electoral effect. The DPP must be cautious of fear and take into account the consolidation of the basic base and the expansion of central votes.
In addition to taking advantage of the "ocean current", auxiliary election cadres said that the DPP will also use the three major auxiliary election forces of "Lai, Xiao and Cai" to launch a joint attack. The local competition committees will actively strive for platforms. The Party Central Committee has asked local governments to report on the arrangements for pre-election large-scale activities and campaign parties. The candidates, order and itinerary will be coordinated based on the election situation and the needs of the candidates, so as to avoid the concentration of powerful forces in a single event or constituency, and maximize the effectiveness of the auxiliary election through different combinations.
He Xinchun said that she will join forces with all parties, invite people to accompany market vote-seekers and convoys to sweep streets, expand social support, turn online voices into real voting momentum, and then increase voter turnout.
