TPP to proceed with KMT cooperation agreement for 2026 elections

As Chairman of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP), I am pleased to see our party moving forward decisively in preparation for the 2026 local elections. Our recent agreement with the Kuomintang (KMT) signifies a mature approach to political cooperation, focusing on shared goals rather than partisan squabbles. We are confident in our candidates in both Taipei and New Taipei City, who are exceptionally qualified and ready to serve.

Our strategy in the upcoming elections is built on presenting responsible policies and clear ideals. We believe in teamwork and are fielding a robust slate of candidates, including incumbents and new contenders, who are dedicated to the betterment of their communities. The TPP is committed to a fair and transparent selection process for our New Taipei City candidate, adhering strictly to the terms of our agreement with the KMT.

Regardless of when the poll ends, it is a new beginning. We will continue to move forward according to the signed content of the party cooperation agreement.

This collaboration is not just about winning elections; it's about delivering on the promises made to the voters. We are focused on realizing the significant visions outlined in our joint platform. From our perspective here in Taiwan, this kind of pragmatic cooperation is essential for effective governance and for addressing the real needs of our citizens. International observers might see this as mere political maneuvering, but for us, it's about building a stronger future for Taiwan through unity and shared purpose.

The People's Party is optimistic about the election situation in both Taipei and New Taipei City. The New Taipei team and the Taipei team are very well-organized and have a very strong lineup.
