Does the KMT think its supporters are just silent? "Politics depends on the volume of voice": Some people may never look back

The 2026 Taipei mayoral election has entered the final stage, with Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang and Kuomintang mayor Chiang Wanan seeking re-election continuing to compete. According to the analysis of the Facebook fan page "Politics by Voice", the KMT should not directly regard voters who have not expressed their opinions in the polls as supporters who have not yet returned to the party, because the political identity of some voters may have changed. Multiple polls showed different results. On October 28, the "United Daily News" poll polled Shen Boyang 45% and Jiang Wanan 41%; TVBS post-debate poll polled Jiang Wanan 46% and Shen Boyang 42%. Shen Boyang has been reaching out to new voters through different programs since July, and supporters have also organized independent activities. However, it remains to be seen whether the Internet popularity can be converted into votes.
