Facing questions about poll results, New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi simply said 'thank you'. An internal Kuomintang poll showed that in the potential 2026 New Taipei City mayoral candidate list, Taipei City Deputy Mayor Li Sichuan had a support rate of 37.26%, while current New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi's supported Deputy Mayor Liu He-ran only had 5.14%. DPP New Taipei City Councilor Zhuo Guan-ting expressed that this poll was intended to suppress Liu He-ran and boost Li Sichuan. Hou You-yi responded with 'thank you'. The poll was seen as having a specific purpose as the mayor's polling at this time is mainly about name recognition and may not represent much else; Hou You-yi's response left Zhuo feeling that it 'hits the spot'.
