Lin Youchang, former secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), visited Tucheng this morning to support Wu Qiming's son Wu Shenghan. Media mentioned that people hope Lin will become the DPP's candidate for mayor of Taipei and asked if he has any intention to run. Lin first said that he has been visiting the front lines of Taiwan's high-tech industry in Dallas, Austin, and Phoenix in the United States, as well as Israel. He even considered going to more dangerous Ukraine to understand the current international situation and think about the future of Taiwan.
Lin Youchang said that regarding the 2026 mayoral election in Taipei, I have no plans or intentions. He also believes that the DPP and the party's selection committee will definitely make a comprehensive and thorough consideration, and put forward the most outstanding candidates to propose a vision for the future development of Taipei City and take on the future of the citizens of Taipei. Let the DPP and the selection committee have a little time, and they will definitely come up with the best candidate.
When the media asked if he would unhesitatingly accept the DPP's invitation or nomination, Lin Youchang responded that I have answered this question many times, and I have no plans or intentions personally.
