As the 2026 local elections approach, talks of potential successors in New Taipei City have heated up. DPP councilor in New Taipei, Chang Chia-ling, questioned Mayor Hou Yuo-yi's possible participation in the KMT chairman election to gain control, as well as the consideration of including Huang Kuo-chang from the People First Party. Speculations include potential candidates such as Vice Mayor Liu Ho-jan, Vice Mayor of Taipei Lee Ssu-chuan, KMT legislator Hung Meng-kai, lawmaker Huang Kuo-chang, and KMT councilor Lin Kuo-chun. Meanwhile, Huang Kuo-chang's recent actions have sparked discussions within the KMT, with internal disagreements over accommodating him, given his political stance. Mayor Hou emphasized focusing on governance and transparency in the party's processes, rather than speculating on Huang's potential membership. The article also touches on the dismissal of KMT caucus convener Fu Kun-chi, with Mayor Hou stating that online presence rankings are not within his control.
