Who will the Kuomintang (KMT) nominate for the 2028 Taiwan regional leader? According to reports from Taiwanese media, veteran media figure Chen Donghao stated outright that during a business dinner he attended in February this year, some businesspeople with close ties to the KMT revealed directly that Lu Hsiu-yin would not be running in the 2028 election.
Unexpectedly, the KMT has unveiled a surprise contender! As for who might be the KMT's 2028 candidate, Chen Donghao said that the lady director present at the gathering explicitly declared it would be Cheng Liwen.
It is understood that the prelude to the 2028 election has already begun. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is highly likely to field Lai Qingde in an attempt to secure re-election. As for the People First Party (PFP), Ke Wen-je initially appeared poised to run, but due to his involvement in cases related to the Jinghua City scandal and political donation irregularities, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison and stripped of civil rights for six years in the first instance, effectively ending his 2028 ambitions. Among the KMT candidates, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, New Taipei Mayor Hou Yu-ih, and Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-yin all have strong support.
