As Taiwan transitions into a period of political speculation post-election, potential candidates for the 2028 presidential election are taking shape. Current President Lai Ching-te is likely to seek re-election unless significant changes in public support occur. Among the KMT candidates, Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen emerges as a potential strong contender due to her popularity and moderate stance. Alongside them, the People's Party, led by Ko Wen-je, faces challenges in maintaining their influence and support as they navigate potential alliances with KMT, while public sentiments will be influenced by broader geopolitical dynamics, especially relations with China. The upcoming local elections in 2026 may also impact strategies as each party positions itself for the presidential bid.
