The results of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) primary election for mayor of Tainan were announced on the morning of the 15th. Chen Ting-fei won with 60.85% against Lin Jun-xian's 58.16%, securing a narrow victory by 2.69%. Regarding this result, Zhou Jia-wei, the chief of the DPP faction in the Tainan City Council, stated that regardless of the primary results, the DPP must unite. After Chen Ting-fei's nomination, she must unite the party members and explain to the council members how she will bring everyone together to fight the upcoming election. Throughout the primary period, those standing by her side were Wu Yu-huan, an independent, and Chou Li-jin, while also receiving public support from Tsai Yu-hui of the Kuomintang (KMT). After her victory, the question remains how she will persuade DPP members to join her in the election. Whether she can act as a "bucket hoop" (a metaphor for unifying and binding people together) will be a major issue; otherwise, the election would see each person going their own way.
Upon learning of the primary results, the service office of Lin Jun-xian was quiet, with no statement yet made.
