Hsu Shu-hua, the Kuomintang incumbent magistrate of Nantou County since 2022, holds a commanding lead in the November 2026 local election due to her established local record, high satisfaction ratings, and the county’s consistent KMT-leaning voter base. She secured the seat in 2022 with roughly 56 percent and has advanced infrastructure projects, debt reduction, and public services during her term. The party renominated her without internal division, while the Democratic Progressive Party fielded Wen Shih-cheng, a political novice and long-time non-resident. Analysts rate the contest as safe for the incumbent. Scenarios that could narrow her position include a major unresolved controversy over local projects such as the Mingjian incinerator, a significant national partisan shift, or an unexpectedly strong independent challenge, though no such developments have materialized.
