Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan attended the founding meeting of the "Taipei Encore Sports Supporters Association" on the 8th to greet the public and win support.

Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party Shen Boyang invited Sports Minister Li Yang to the same stage last night to launch a "two-ocean integration" dialogue on Taipei City's sports policy, proposing ideas such as the establishment of sports stations, revitalizing community stadiums, and promoting physical fitness for the elderly. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan also attended the Taipei Taishin Ares home opening match and the founding meeting of the "Taipei Encore Sports Supporters Association" today (8th) to gain support from the sports community.

Jiang Wanan first went to the Taipei Peace Basketball Arena to participate in the opening game of the "2026-27 Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL)" Taipei Taishin Ares home game as a kick-off guest, and then rushed to the Taipei Encore Sports Supporters Association's founding meeting. In his speech, he expressed his gratitude to the sports community for their guidance to the city government team in the past four years. According to the "Foresight" 2026 Sports City Survey in Counties and Cities across the Country, Taipei City ranks first in the country in various indicators, and the proportion of people who regularly exercise is also first among the six cities.

Jiang Wanan emphasized that sports are not only about winning and losing in the arena, but also an attitude towards life. The city government started with grassroots sports, including assisting the Dongyuan Elementary School Little League team to raise transportation vehicles, updating the dormitory of the Songshan High School basketball team, and renovating the youth park baseball field. He also detailed his political achievements such as hosting the Taiwan Competition after the opening of the Taipei Arena, striving for international competitions, and planning 9 second sports centers, hoping to allow citizens of all ages to participate in sports.

As the election campaign enters the final stage, Jiang Wanan also appeals to people in the sports community, hoping that everyone will continue to support him. He elevated the campaign to political offense and defense, criticizing the rulers who control huge resources for their arrogant attitude towards the people, drowning out the issues that should be solved with political rhetoric, and even showing repeated positions and double standards. He called on voters to express their stance with their votes, emphasizing the need to "defeat arrogance with kindness and defend justice with persistence."
