Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party had a full schedule at the end of last month. After participating in a TV debate at noon, he attended a gay parade in the afternoon to support equal rights. Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun appeared at the Taichung Rainbow Parade at 1:30 pm today to support voices of friendship and care for diversity. At the same time, KMT mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen had lunch with Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People's Party, to create a blue-white partnership.

Jiang Qichen is a hen in the blue camp of Taichung City. There are 6 districts where the Kuomintang Party has nominated members. In many districts, the competition between blue and white is fierce, which has made the KMT members and supporters very nervous.

Taipei's mayoral election is tense. Kuomintang mayoral candidate Chiang Wanan recently teamed up with six People's Party North City parliamentary candidates to hold a live broadcast, creating a blue-white coalition to attract votes from the white camp. The Taichung mayoral election is in a stalemate. Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan, who is the general chairperson of Chiang Wanan-Chiang Chi-chen's campaign, wants to replicate the blue-white coalition model for the 2024 legislative election. However, there are many constituencies in Taichung where the competition between blue, white and green parliamentary candidates is fierce, which has also caused dissatisfaction among supporters.
