according to the "2026 kaohsiung mayor possible candidates poll" released by taiwan tvbs poll center on the 11th, the five dpp legislators lin daihua, lai ruilong, hsu chih-chieh, chiu yi-ying, and hsu ming-chun, the former head of the taiwan authorities' labor department, will lose to kmt legislator ko chien in terms of support no matter who they send to run for kaohsiung mayor. it is rumored that the green camp may ask pan meng'an, the "secretary-general" of lai's office, to parachute in. ko chien laughed and said that he had heard of the rumor of "two pingtung people" in the election a long time ago.

it is rumored that if the gap between the potential candidate of the green camp and ke zhien remains the same as it is now in the second half of next year, the dpp may recruit pan meng'an. ke zhien was interviewed on the 13th and laughed and said, "you said two pingtung people are fighting in the election. i have heard this rumor a long time ago." she said that pan meng'an, like her, is a child from the south and has a lot of administrative experience. in addition, kaohsiung is the last bastion that the dpp cannot lose. they will put all their efforts to ensure that the dpp continues to govern in kaohsiung. "if the dpp still has no improvement in the polls after the primary election, they will definitely find a way to send someone down. in terms of geographical relationship, pan meng'an will be the most suitable candidate."

ko chien-en said that for the kuomintang, no matter what combination or candidate the opponent is, it will be a very difficult election campaign in kaohsiung. they can only use limited human resources, take steady steps, visit every corner diligently, let the citizens of kaohsiung get close to us, and make them willing to give us another chance.

as for the lead in the polls, ko chien-yen said that polls are a reference. there are still more than two years before the election. although the polls released now have achieved good results, he would not be naive to think that this is the final result.

regarding this poll, media person luo wangzhe analyzed on the 13th that the strengths of lin daihua, lai ruilong, and hsu chih-chieh seem to be similar at present, and it does not feel like the poll that chen chi-mai would present, which means that chen's halo has not been transferred to these people, or the election has not yet come, and many dpp supporters are more conservative. in addition, the shortcomings in the governance in the past period of time will make the original light green supporters turn conservative and wait and see. in addition, he saw from the party inclinations that these people who support the people's party have turned to ko chien-en, which means that supporters may feel hatred for the recent jinghua city case, and this hatred, in the blue-green showdown constituency, may be transferred to ko chien-en.

in addition, luo wangzhe also reminded the kuomintang to reflect on the fact that the former kaohsiung mayor han kuo-yu relied on "touching people" to turn kaohsiung around, but later because he ran for the "general election", the citizens were resentful. it is very important to know how to turn this opportunity around. therefore, ko must work hard in this regard to shake people's hearts, and "kaohsiung may then turn green land into blue sky."
