What kind of confrontation can be expected at the Taipei mayoral debate? Political commentator Shen Zhengnan speculates that Shen Boyang, confident in his impromptu speaking abilities, may expose inconsistencies and factual inaccuracies due to his tendency to speak without prepared remarks. Meanwhile, if Jiang Wan’an can clearly and confidently present his record on municipal governance, he could gain an advantage in image-building. Shen also suggests that Jiang might seek guidance from Ko Wen-je, the founding chairman of the Taiwan People's Party, for insights on navigating political currents.

TVBS and SET TV will co-host the "2026 Taipei Mayoral Candidate Television Debate" on October 31, bringing together candidates Jiang Wan’an and Shen Boyang for a public exchange on policy platforms, Taipei’s urban development, and key current affairs. A rehearsal was held on the 30th, with representatives from both candidates’ teams attending to familiarize themselves with procedures and offering feedback on preparation strategies and event design.
