Chen Ting-fei maintains a dominant position in the Tainan mayoral race ahead of the November 28 vote, backed by her long record of local service, strong DPP organizational support, and recent endorsements from President Lai Ching-te, who highlighted her path to becoming the city’s first female mayor while urging continued grassroots mobilization. Campaign activity has intensified in recent days, with Chen and primary challenger Hsieh Lung-chieh both conducting market sweeps and policy outreach to consolidate voter bases. Hsieh has focused on calls for televised debates and opposition coordination, yet trader pricing reflects the structural advantages of the incumbent party’s extended hold on Tainan governance and Chen’s consistent polling strength relative to minor candidates and independents.
