The 2026 Taipei mayoral election continues to heat up, and people from all walks of life are highly anticipating that the blue and green candidates will debate on the same stage. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan's campaign office revealed on the 5th that TVBS would coordinate and arrange the debate. Wu Siyao, the campaign director of Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, issued a statement on the 8th to reiterate that Shen Boyang always adheres to the three principles of "must debate, come to debates as soon as possible, and the more debates the better" when facing debates. He called on Chiang Wanan's team to start consultations immediately and that his mobile phone should be "on 24 hours a day" to be contacted at any time. Shen Boyang said this morning that he had not received a call for consultation yesterday, and he hoped that it would be held as soon as possible. He hoped that there would be at least four debates, otherwise the public would have less and less chance to see it.

Shen Boyang went to Muxin Market to sweep the streets this morning and was interviewed. He said that he was still meeting with Wu Siyao to discuss policies yesterday until 11 o'clock or almost 12 o'clock in the evening. At least up to that time, he had not received a call. Of course, we still hope that consultations will be held as soon as possible. Yesterday, we mentioned that there are only 50 days left. In the past, debates and consultations would have been held in August or September, so we hope that consultations can be held as soon as possible, otherwise the public will have less and less chance to see it.

He said that he still wanted to reiterate that he had signed consent letters from four companies since August. He believed that there could be at least four debates. This should be the most basic, because each company would have different issues, and I believe the public is also concerned about these.

In addition, the media asked: Does Shen Shang’s exclusive interview have higher traffic than Jiang Wanan? Shen said that the traffic may come from all over Taiwan, but the current focus is still on the Taipei City election. The traffic does not represent the actual votes in Taipei City. Chiang Wanan's interview must still be watched by many people, so he hopes that the traffic can actually be converted into daily life, and finally converted into voters' trust in him. This is the most important thing.
