Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the Songshan Airport relocation policy on the 8th, which is expected to free up about 300 hectares of land for AI industrial parks, residences and parks. Kuomintang legislator Xu Qiaoxin, who was elected as a member of the Legislative Yuan Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee on the same day, will host a special report on the 14th, inviting Defense Minister Gu Lixiong, Transportation Minister Chen Shikai and the Civil Aviation Administration to participate. New Taipei City Councilor Lin Bingyou of the Democratic Progressive Party pointed out that the issue of pine machine relocation has been discussed for more than 20 years, but this time it is proposed by the local governing team, and the integrity and persuasiveness of the political views may be greater than before. He also emphasized that Xu Qiaoxin, as a member of Jiang Wanan’s speech team, will have an important influence on the issue.

Former legislator Zheng Yunpeng analyzed People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang's exclusive interview with KMT Taipei mayoral candidate Chiang Wanan. He pointed out that this move fell into the triple dilemma of media role, party obligations and fairness. He emphasized that the position of party chairman should be respected, and he must respect others before he can respect it.

Senior media person Akio Yaita analyzed the "ocean current" phenomenon brought about by the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidacy, pointing out three psychological changes that reflect Taipei citizens' attitudes toward professionalism, change, and security. He believed that future mayors must have technological and international perspectives, and emphasized that true security requires preparation, deterrence, and resilience, rather than simply being pro-Beijing or taking a hard-line stance.

In the Taipei mayoral election, Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang’s camp criticized KMT candidate Chiang Wanan’s camp for playing tricks in the debate arrangement through campaign director-general Wu Siyao, saying that he first proposed "1+1" but was silent during the meeting. Later, he changed his words and said that as usual, only one would be held, and emphasized that Shen Boyang's team had signed the media debate invitation agreement early, actively requested multiple debates, and urged Jiang Wanan to come to the debate immediately, otherwise the PK would be conducted using street soap boxes or live broadcasts.

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang argued that the debate could be held on October 24, while KMT candidate Chiang Wanan argued that organizers TVBS and Sanli TV indicated that preparations would take at least 15 days, with the earliest feasible date being October 31. Both sides accused each other of disrespecting professional arrangements and delaying the debate. The focus of the dispute was the debate venue and time schedule.

KMT Chairman Zheng Liwen took over as the chairman of the campaign headquarters of Changhua County Mayor candidate Wei Pingzheng, and formed a high-level county government advisory group composed of former executive president Chen Chong and many other former cabinet members. However, local people questioned the advisory group's lack of grounding, and there are still doubts whether it can bring votes to Wei Pingzheng.
