The KMT is getting ready to announce its mayoral nominees for New Taipei, Yilan County and Chiayi City on March 11th.
KMT official Li Zhe-hua (李哲華) said today that it will then begin talks with the TPP to field joint opposition candidates.
Li said the two parties will set up a task force to discuss coordination mechanisms and determine the most electable contenders in the three key battlegrounds for the 2026 local elections.
In New Taipei, the KMT has consolidated behind Deputy Taipei Mayor Lee Si-chuan, who said he has submitted his resignation to prepare for a mayoral run.
The TPP has nominated its chairman Huang Guo-chang for the race.
Huang said his stance on cooperation "has not changed," adding that the TPP will work with "the greatest sincerity and goodwill" to form the strongest team.
