The youth are expected to play a key role in the presidential and parliamentary elections.
The outcome of the January 2024 vote will set the tone for Taipei’s tumultuous relationship with Beijing .
The DPP is on track to retain power for a third term, with the party’s candidate, vice-president William Lai, 63, leading opinion polls. Younger voters are again playing a role – but this time they are gravitating to dark horse candidate who has become the DPP’s closest challenger. Although Ko, of the small Taiwan People’s Party , lags Lai by 17 percentage points, he leads among voters younger than 40, according to a survey conducted in mid-August by the Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation.
Some younger voters may show their hands late, so Ko’s appeal to that demographic could close the gap with Lai. Capturing the youth vote is a perennial challenge for Taiwan’s former governing party, with only about 3% of its 300,000 members younger than 40, KMT official Ho Chih-yung told Reuters.
