Zhu Lilun talks about the 2026 New Taipei election: Voters are apathetic, the key is to stimulate turnout

The 2026 New Taipei City mayoral election is heating up. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Su Qiaohui and her opponent KMT candidate Li Sichuan are in a stalemate. Former New Taipei City mayor Zhu Lilun pointed out that most voters are still quite indifferent. In the last two months, the enthusiasm of voters must be aroused. Only when the turnout rate returns to normal can we win the election.

Feng Chia University held a lecture on "From Specific Factories to Global Markets: Building Low-Carbon Competitiveness with International Standards" today (30th) afternoon. Zhu Lilun was interviewed before the meeting and said that he had returned to his favorite academic job on campus. The media asked that he had been the mayor of New Taipei City before. What do you think of the New Taipei City election?

Zhu Lilun said that in fact, the New Taipei election campaign is to encourage people to vote enthusiastically. Taiwan is actually relatively cold towards this year's election. On the surface, it seems that many people in blue and green are very lively and have coined many terms. In fact, for most voters, it is still quite cold.

Zhu Lilun emphasized that in the last two months before the 1128 voting day, the final key is probably the last month, which is to arouse the enthusiasm of all voters. Only when the turnout rate can return to normal can we gain everyone's support.

As for whether to "lend the general to Chiang Wanan, the KMT Taipei mayoral candidate," Zhu Lilun said that Chiang Wanan is recognized by many young people, and many young friends have come in to help, including some of his good friends, who are helping Chiang Wanan, hoping to bring together different forces.
