On July 6, 2024, amid allegations of corruption, Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wen-can posted bail of 5 million NTD and faced restrictions on residency and travel. Political commentator Huang Yang-ming disclosed on a news program that Zheng's stronghold in Taoyuan has been undermined, potentially leading his allies to defect to other factions, which would deeply impact Zheng. This development may influence internal party dynamics and upcoming elections in 2026, with different factions vying for support from Zheng's former loyalists. Huang also discussed the reorganization of power within the Democratic Progressive Party, set to be finalized by the end of July 21, as President Lai Ching-te aims to consolidate his authority within the party.
