On June 27, 2024, FTNN News reported internal push within the Kuomintang party for Taipei's Deputy Mayor Li Sichuan to run for New Taipei City Mayor in 2026, but New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi is rumored to lean towards New Taipei's Deputy Mayor Liu He-ran. Hou and Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan attended the 2025 Dual-North World Middle-Aged Sports Games Committee together, where when asked about Li Sichuan's candidacy, Hou remained vague, and Jiang Wanan sang 'Love me, don't leave, if you say you don't love me,' showing support for Li Sichuan. Jiang Wanan emphasized the power of his embrace, while Hou advised not to worry about the elections yet and focus on prosperity in both cities. More news includes the Mainland Affairs Council raising travel alerts to China, Jiang Wanan questioning how the Republic of China can be Taiwan independent, and Jiang Wanan calling for participation in next year's sports games.
