On Sunday, the four contenders — Chiu Yi-ying (邱議瑩), Lai Jui-lung (賴瑞隆), Hsu Chih-chieh (許智傑), and Lin Tai-hua (林岱樺) — launched coordinated campaign blitzes across traditional markets and major districts to maximize exposure ahead of the Jan. 12-17 phone survey that will determine the candidate.

Lin suggested that if the harbor project could attract approximately 2.3 million international tourists annually—roughly 6.5 percent of Paris’s inbound visitors—it could generate around NT$90 billion in tourism value each year.

The KMT has nominated Legislator Ko Chih-en (柯志恩) to run for Kaohsiung mayor, Legislator Hsieh Lung-chieh (謝龍介) for Tainan mayor, Legislator Su Ching-chuan (蘇清泉) for Pingtung County magistrate, and Taitung County Council Speaker Wu Hsiu-hua (吳秀華) for Taitung County magistrate.

Ko lost to Mayor Chen Chi-mai in 2022, but garnered just over 40% of the vote.
