  • The breakdown of the Blue-White alliance in the Zhubei mayoral election may cause wider political repercussions.
  • New Taipei mayoral candidate Li Sichuan reported positive communication with TPP Chairman Huang Kuo-chang on the matter.
  • The cooperation between the KMT and TPP in other counties was mentioned in relation to the Zhubei situation.

The collapse of the anticipated Blue-White alliance in the race for Zhubei mayor could trigger significant political fallout, according to New Taipei mayoral candidate Li Sichuan. He addressed the situation on the 29th, noting that discussions with Taiwan People's Party (TPP) Chairman Huang Kuo-chang about the failed cooperation were constructive.

Li Sichuan's comments suggest that while the specific alliance for the Zhubei mayoral election did not materialize, inter-party communication channels remain open. This is particularly relevant given the broader context of potential collaboration between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the TPP in other electoral contests across Taiwan.

The outcome in Zhubei is being closely watched as it could influence the dynamics of future political partnerships between the two parties. The KMT and TPP have previously engaged in cooperative efforts in various counties, and the success or failure of such alliances can set precedents for subsequent elections.
