In the 2026 Kaohsiung mayoral race, the latest polls show that candidate Lai Ruilong of the Democratic Progressive Party is only 1.6% ahead of Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang. Current affairs commentator and physician Shen Zhengnan analyzed the polls and pointed out that although the structure of Kaohsiung's political party has not changed, Ko has overwhelming support from the central voters, and there is a high possibility of a reversal at the end of the year. If Ko wins, it will be even more difficult for Lai Qingde to be re-elected in 2028.
