- Former Taipei mayor and TPP chairman Ko Wen-je has expressed interest in running for president in the 2024 election.
- In the 2020 Kaohsiung mayoral by-election, TPP nominee Wu Yi-jheng received 4 percent of the vote, while TPP-backed Vivien Huang placed third in the 2022 Taipei mayoral election.
- TPP candidate Ann Kao was elected mayor of Hsinchu City, which the article says hints at a possible alliance between Ko Wen-je and Terry Gou.
