The outcome of the election could have implications for the 2024 presidential election.
The candidates have been campaigning on a variety of issues, including the economy, housing, and transportation. Chen Shih-chung has pledged to focus on improving the city’s infrastructure and public services. Chiang Wan-an has promised to cut taxes and regulations to boost economic growth. Huang Shan-shan has vowed to make Taipei a more livable city for all residents.
The election is expected to be close, and the outcome could come down to the wire. Voters will have the final say on who will lead Taipei for the next four years..
