KMT's strong position reflects its control of roughly 14-16 of the 22 mayoral and magistrate posts heading into the November 28 vote, combined with a March 2026 cooperation agreement with the TPP that uses opinion polls to select joint candidates and minimize vote splitting in key races such as New Taipei and Chiayi City. Incumbency advantages and established local networks continue to favor the party in most districts, while DPP support remains concentrated in its traditional strongholds and TPP backing has stayed marginal. Recent polling in individual contests shows variability, particularly in New Taipei and Kaohsiung, but no broad shift has altered the overall seat outlook. A realistic challenge would require either a significant breakdown in KMT-TPP coordination that fragments the opposition vote or unexpectedly strong DPP performance across multiple toss-up jurisdictions.

Taiwanese local elections are scheduled to be held on November 28, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the party whose official candidates win the most head of local government (mayor or magistrate) elections for Taiwan’s major special municipalities, counties, and cities during these elections.
A candidate will be considered an official candidate of a party if they are officially nominated by that party and are registered for the relevant election in affiliation with that party. Independent candidates will not count for any party.
Taiwan’s local governments include the following cities, special municipalities, and counties:
Cities/special municipalities (mayoral elections): Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Keelung City, Hsinchu City, Chiayi City
Counties (magistrate elections): Yilan County, Hsinchu County, Miaoli County, Changhua County, Nantou County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, Pingtung County, Taitung County, Hualien County, Penghu County, Lienchiang County, Kinmen County
Only elections for the listed cities, special municipalities or counties will be counted for this market. A party will have won as soon as it becomes mathematically impossible for any other party to equal or surpass its number of wins in these elections.
In the case of a tie between two or more parties for the greatest number of relevant head of local government elections won, this market will resolve in favor of the party whose English name comes first in alphabetical order, as listed in this market group.
Resolution of this market will be based on the results of the relevant elections, once those results are official. This market will remain open until a party has won or until the results of all of the relevant elections are made official. If the results of any of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections aren’t known by June 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET, the winning party will be determined based on the available results up to that point. If none of the results of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections are known by that time, this market will resolve to “Other”.
This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Taiwanese government, specifically the Central Election Commission (https://db.cec.gov.tw/).KMT's strong position reflects its control of roughly 14-16 of the 22 mayoral and magistrate posts heading into the November 28 vote, combined with a March 2026 cooperation agreement with the TPP that uses opinion polls to select joint candidates and minimize vote splitting in key races such as New Taipei and Chiayi City.
