Trader consensus heavily favors the Kuomintang (KMT) at 80.5% implied probability to win the most county magistrate and city mayor seats in Taiwan's November 28, 2026 local elections, reflecting the party's strong incumbency advantage from sweeping 14 of 22 races in 2022 amid typical ruling-party midterm losses for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). A March 2026 opposition coalition agreement between KMT and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) to coordinate candidates via opinion polls in key races like New Taipei City and Yilan County prevents vote splitting, bolstering KMT's path to plurality. Recent KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun's April 7-12 China visit, including a meeting with Xi Jinping, drew DPP criticism and fueled 56% public concern in an April poll that it could harm KMT prospects, yet party identification surveys show DPP at 40% versus KMT-TPP's 28% combined—traders remain undeterred, pricing TPP's smaller base at 0.7% and DPP at 16.5% amid ongoing nominations and legislative gridlock.

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) at 80.5% implied probability to win the most county magistrate and city mayor seats in Taiwan's November 28, 2026 local elections, reflecting the party's strong incumbency advantage from sweeping 14 of 22 races in 2022 amid typical ruling-party midterm losses for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
