A campaign billboard for Kuomintang’s (KMT) New Taipei legislative candidate Ye Yuan-zhi has unintentionally become a landmark on Google Maps, attracting a large number of visitors. The billboard gained attention after the breakdown of a collaboration between KMT and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), transforming it into a point of interest. Ye live-streamed a video showing workers altering the billboard by painting over TPP’s Ko Wen-je’s face and replacing it with that of KMT’s Hou Yu-ih’s running mate, Jaw Shaw-Kong. The video caption stated that supporters were angry and asked Ye to deal with the billboard immediately. The adjustment caught the attention of the digital community, with users on Google Maps leaving reviews describing it as ＂historic evidence of a breakup drama＂ and a ＂historic landmark＂ that may not remain for long.

The latest poll from the ＂Formosa＂ website reveals a close race in Taiwan’s presidential election, with Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leading by a slim margin of 31.4%, followed closely by Hou Yu-ih of the Kuomintang (KMT) at 31.1%. Ko Wen-je of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) trails in third place with 25.2%, over 6 percentage points behind the front-runners. Former legislator Shen Fu-hsiung, speaking on TVBS Situation Room, analyzed the situation, highlighting that the close polling between Hou and Ko does not give Lai a significant advantage. However, he cautioned against calls for a collaboration between the KMT and TPP at this time. Shen further explained that in presidential system countries like Taiwan, cooperation talks are not typically pursued, unlike in parliamentary systems where post-election coalitions may form. With the widening gap in support between Hou and Ko, Shen urged political observers to abandon the idea of a pan-blue alliance. He also emphasized that if the KMT aims to surpass the DPP in the upcoming elections, they should focus on diminishing the TPP’s support and consolidating the pan-blue vote without relying on a formal alliance.

DPP vice presidential candidate Hsiao Bi-khim emphasized the importance of expanding support for the DPP’s platform rather than focusing on cooperation with opposition parties.

Reflecting on her work in Hualien, Hsiao highlighted the common ideals and values she shares with DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te. The Lai-Hsiao pairing sees the election as a battle to protect Taiwan’s democratic values, progress democracy, and strengthen the nation’s resilience.

The story discusses a significant political development in Taiwan, where Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih visited former President Ma Ying-jeou’s office for a meeting, while Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential hopeful Ko Wen-je visited the home of independent candidate Terry Gou. Ko formally invited Gou on Facebook, aiming to consolidate opposition forces and unite for a potential political transition in 2024.

Efforts to consolidate opposition parties have stalled, with integration progress close to collapsing. Consensus among the parties has yet to be reached as the registration deadline approaches. The prospect of a ’Hou-Ko pairing’ relies on Ko’s decision. Taiwan’s political landscape remains uncertain as the 2024 elections approach.

The grand opening of Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate Hou Yu-ih’s national campaign headquarters in New Taipei City’s Banqiao District has been indefinitely postponed due to ongoing negotiations with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP).

As a result, most of Hou’s campaign staff will continue working from the original office on Xianmin Boulevard.

The MOEA referred to a previous incident where former Minister of the Interior Lee Hong-yuan apologized for baseless accusations and urged Ko to do the same.

As the 2024 presidential election registration deadline approaches, rumors of a possible breakdown in the coalition between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) have caused panic. Former legislator Shen Fu-hsiung broke the silence by asserting that TPP candidate Ko Wen-je would choose to form a ＂blue-white coalition＂ with KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih as his running mate. Shen based his observation on a conversation with TPP campaign office director Cho Yu-hsiu, who seemed unsure of Ko’s true thoughts. Shen’s prediction of a KMT-TPP joint ticket in October was proven true when Ko confirmed the collaboration on November 15, leading to a backlash from Ko’s supporters. However, Shen emphasized that Ko’s actions were not meant to deceive but were part of a secretive and strategic approach to political success.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) campaign spokesperson Chen Chih-han expressed discontentment over the announcement of collaboration between the Kuomintang (KMT) and the TPP, but emphasized the importance of the party’s objectives. Uncertainty remains over whether she may resign. The KMT and TPP conducted their second negotiation and decided to jointly compete in the 2024 presidential elections, with KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih pairing with TPP candidate Ko Wen-je. This decision sparked dissatisfaction among TPP supporters and staff, but Ko acknowledged their concerns during a press conference. Ko expressed worry that the collaboration might reduce their distinction and erase their leading advantage. Despite this, Chen believes that most of the party’s teams and volunteers understand Ko’s predicament. Rumors of dissatisfaction leading to the resignation of Vivian Huang persisted, but Ko’s campaign chief of staff clarified that no resignation notice was given.

However, the majority, at 47%, believe that both factors should be given equal importance. According to the survey released by the United Daily News, 60% of voters believe the popularity poll results of candidates play a crucial role in deciding the presidential and vice-presidential nominees for the potential KMT-TPP alliance. Other considerations for voters include the parties’ control over legislative seats (49%), popularity polls of the nominating parties (46%), and the ruling parties under their jurisdictions (40%). If the alliance breaks down, 33% of voters would blame the KMT, 28% would blame the TPP, 23% believe both parties are equally responsible, and 16% have no opinion.

Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) presidential candidate Ko Wen-je urges the resolution of the alliance between the Kuomintang (KMT) and TPP. Ko emphasizes the need for urgency, suggesting that the matter be resolved within one to two days. He also calls for transparency in the meeting with KMT chairman Eric Chu and invites former President Ma Ying-jeou as a witness. Ko clarifies that collaboration at various levels is not in question, but the discord lies in the combination of presidential candidates. Both Ma and former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu support a public opinion survey to determine the final ticket lineup. KMT Chairperson Chu acknowledges the mutual understanding regarding the survey but highlights the need for further negotiation and discussion on the details and rules of the proposed plan.

Taiwan’s Minister of Health and Welfare expressed support for signing a memorandum of understanding with India by year-end, aiming to introduce around 100,000 Indian migrant workers to Taiwan. The agreement could involve employing these workers in manufacturing, construction, agriculture, institutional, and domestic care sectors. However, the contract signing might be delayed until December, and the employment of new migrant workers cannot begin immediately. Currently, Taiwan has approximately 748,000 foreign migrant workers, with Indonesians being the largest group at 267,000, primarily in caregiving. Vietnam follows with 260,000 workers, and the Philippines with 150,000, mainly in manufacturing. This collaboration could make India Taiwan’s fourth-largest source of migrant workers.

In other news, Tsai stated that the case involving Democratic Progressive Party legislator Chao Tien-lin’s alleged extramarital affair partner being a spy is now in the courts for examination. Tsai respects the outcome of the investigation and refrained from further commenting as the case has entered judicial proceedings.
