Su Chiao-hui holds a narrow lead in trader consensus for the New Taipei mayoral race ahead of the November 28 vote, driven by recent polling showing her support rising to 43 percent against Lee Shu-chuan’s 30 percent, with gains among undecided voters and in traditionally KMT-leaning districts. The DPP candidate has emphasized tourism infrastructure along the north coast and family-oriented local services, while the KMT nominee, backed through party integration, has highlighted MRT extensions, urban renewal projects in Yonghe, and administrative experience. An independent candidate draws minimal attention. The contest remains competitive due to shifting voter sentiment and the impact of turnout in swing areas; further polling shifts, candidate debates, or late campaign events could widen the gap before election day.
