DPP legislator Wang Shih-chien, a potential 2026 Taipei mayoral candidate, has garnered high popularity among the 18 to 29 age group, surpassing Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an in recent online polls. Wang modestly referred to himself as a 'beast' and Chiang as a 'male model,' with Chiang responding that they will consider relevant surveys in terms of appealing to young voters. With political parties actively strategizing for the 2026 elections, Wang's 'cannon-style' approach to governance has resonated with youth, placing him first in both the latest online polls and in terms of popularity among young people, even though Wang has stated he has never considered running for mayor. Chiang, when asked about competing for young voters against Wang who leads in popularity, mentioned they will consider relevant surveys.
