The KMT Taipei City Chapter announced the primary registration lists for Districts 4 to 6 this afternoon. The city chapter will nominate 4 seats in the Zhongshan-Datong District; all 3 incumbent councilors have registered, and 2 newcomers, Lu Wei and Li I-ju, are running, so the final seat will be chosen between the two.

The KMT Taipei City Chapter will nominate 4 seats in the Zhongzheng-Wanhua District; all 3 incumbent councilors have registered, while Councilor Ying Hsiao-wei, who is involved in the Core Pacific City case, did not register. Three newcomers, Kuo Yin-lan, Chang Yen-ting, and Chou Shih-hsiung, will compete for 1 seat.

The KMT Taipei City Chapter announced that for the Daan-Wenshan District council primary registration, no primary is needed as there are no new candidates.
