Taiwanese local elections are scheduled to be held on November 28, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who becomes the next Mayor of Hsinchu City as a result of this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder Mayors appointed before the election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known, or no candidate has been elected, by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the 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/).**Ann Kao holds a dominant position in the Hsinchu City mayoral race as the incumbent independent, backed by KMT-TPP coordination that has led the KMT to forgo its own nominee under an agreement prioritizing sitting officeholders.** She regained office in December 2025 after acquittal on corruption charges that prompted her 2024 suspension and expulsion from the TPP, allowing her to focus on governance in a city centered on the Hsinchu Science Park. A May 2026 poll showed her at 54.5% support against DPP nominee Chuang Ching-cheng at 21.3%, with 65%+ resident satisfaction in her performance. The DPP formalized Chuang’s candidacy in April 2026, but he trails significantly. Former KMT spokesman Ho Chih-yung continues as an independent challenger despite party discouragement, yet registers minimal backing. Candidate registration opens August 31 for the November 28 vote, with trader pricing reflecting Kao’s structural advantages in a contest shaped by opposition unity and limited viable alternatives.
