The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will start the 2026 election campaign by holding a primary in Kaohsiung City based on the lottery results. On the evening of the previous day, from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM, three survey companies conducted telephone surveys simultaneously. After obtaining 1,200 valid questionnaires, the results will be announced before noon today. According to the information, representatives from the camps of DPP legislators Lai Ruizhong, Chiu Chi-ying, Lin Daihua, and Hsu Chih-chieh were present to monitor the process. Lai Ruizhong and Chiu Chi-ying are leading, but the final result can only be determined after weighted statistics.
Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai said today (13th) that he would like to extend his congratulations to the four candidates who have completed the DPP's primary selection. After the primary, the public will have a better understanding of the candidates' views. He also called on people to stay calm and wait for the results, as the current situation is getting more tense, with each candidate feeling anxious.
