The Legislative Yuan passed the amendment to the Elderly Welfare Law on the third reading on the 16th and forwarded the KMT’s proposal of universal cash distribution of 20,000 yuan before the league election to the second reading for negotiation. Media personality Wu Jingyi posted a post on Facebook criticizing the move as exchanging future debt for immediate votes in the election. It may cause a financial burden of hundreds of billions to be borne by young adults, undermine generational justice, and question the lack of constitutional financial resources and fiscal discipline law assessment, and shift health care costs to salaried classes and young families.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan launched the DuGeng update policy, lowering the integration willingness of the DuGeng threshold from 75% to 50%, and increasing the DuGeng reward to speed up the progress. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang criticized the move as having a wide entrance but a narrow exit. Jiang Wanan responded that there was no conflict between the two and that it could be a two-pronged approach, citing the example of Xinwei House Renovation to demonstrate that both are more effective.

The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted an exclusive interview with former China Broadcasting Chairman Zhao Shaokang for the second time, sparking dissatisfaction within the KMT.

Former KMT spokesperson Xiao Jingyan left a message criticizing some people in the party for acting like idiots, and emphasized that the influence of the election comes from the candidate himself, not Zhao Shaokang.

Former President Tsai Ing-wen accompanied the Democratic Progressive Party's Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun to vote, visit the Chenghuang Temple and visit the No. 1 Middle School business district. Zhao Xiaohui analyzed that her popularity on Threads was transformed into campaign voice, and she was closer to young voters through people-friendly interactions, aiming to break the KMT's blue-green opposition strategy and accelerate the golden cross between He Xinchun and his opponent Jiang Qichen in the polls.

Foreign Minister Lin Jialong visited the 50th anniversary photography exhibition "Taiwan Guanghua Magazine" "Seeing Taiwan".
