Trader consensus heavily favors the Kuomintang (KMT) to win the most seats in Taiwan's November 28, 2026, nine-in-one local elections, reflecting the opposition's strengthened position amid recent developments. On March 27, a Taipei court sentenced former Taipei Mayor and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) founder Ko Wen-je to a lengthy term for bribery and corruption, weakening TPP prospects and accelerating a nascent KMT-TPP cooperation pact announced earlier in March to coordinate candidates and avoid vote-splitting in key races. Building on KMT's 2022 local election sweep and the opposition's legislative majority since 2024, these moves exploit Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) governance challenges, including budget deadlocks and policy gridlock. While DPP holds the presidency, historical patterns show local voters prioritizing domestic issues like economy and infrastructure, tilting odds toward KMT dominance unless major scandals or economic shifts intervene.

Taiwanese local elections are scheduled to be held on November 28, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the party whose official candidates win the most head of local government (mayor or magistrate) elections for Taiwan’s major special municipalities, counties, and cities during these elections.
A candidate will be considered an official candidate of a party if they are officially nominated by that party and are registered for the relevant election in affiliation with that party. Independent candidates will not count for any party.
Taiwan’s local governments include the following cities, special municipalities, and counties:
Cities/special municipalities (mayoral elections): Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Keelung City, Hsinchu City, Chiayi City
Counties (magistrate elections): Yilan County, Hsinchu County, Miaoli County, Changhua County, Nantou County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, Pingtung County, Taitung County, Hualien County, Penghu County, Lienchiang County, Kinmen County
Only elections for the listed cities, special municipalities or counties will be counted for this market. A party will have won as soon as it becomes mathematically impossible for any other party to equal or surpass its number of wins in these elections.
In the case of a tie between two or more parties for the greatest number of relevant head of local government elections won, this market will resolve in favor of the party whose English name comes first in alphabetical order, as listed in this market group.
Resolution of this market will be based on the results of the relevant elections, once those results are official. This market will remain open until a party has won or until the results of all of the relevant elections are made official. If the results of any of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections aren’t known by June 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET, the winning party will be determined based on the available results up to that point. If none of the results of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections are known by that time, this market will resolve to “Other”.
This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Taiwanese government, specifically the Central Election Commission (https://db.cec.gov.tw/).Trader consensus heavily favors the Kuomintang (KMT) to win the most seats in Taiwan's November 28, 2026, nine-in-one local elections, reflecting the opposition's strengthened position amid recent developments.
