Chou Chun-mi, the Democratic Progressive Party incumbent seeking re-election on November 28, 2026, holds a commanding trader consensus lead in the Pingtung County Magistrate race, reflecting her established record since 2022 and the county’s consistent DPP support in recent cycles. Su Ching-chuan, the Kuomintang nominee and 2022 rematch opponent, trails notably amid an earlier indictment tied to a 2024 hospital incident that prosecutors reopened. Both candidates launched formal campaign efforts in mid-October, with Chou emphasizing green development, agricultural innovation, and infrastructure while Su highlights stable growth and local economic revitalization. No other registered contenders have registered meaningful market movement, underscoring the binary contest structure ahead of the vote.
