Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in the Republic of China (Taiwan) on 13 January 2024.[1][2] Incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who was reelected in 2020, is ineligible to seek a third term. The ruling DPP nominated Vice President Lai Ching-te in March 2023, having already secured the party chairmanship by acclamation. New Taipei Mayor Hou Yu-ih of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) was selected to be the party’s presidential nominee in May 2023. Despite previously saying he would support Hou’s nomination, businessman Terry Gou declared his own independent bid in September 2023. The Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) has nominated its leader, Ko Wen-je, the former Mayor of Taipei.
On 15 November 2023, leadership of the KMT and the TPP announced that they would field a single joint presidential ticket, with the parties' previously chosen nominees serving as presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The order is to be chosen based on opinion polls and publicly announced on 18 November. [3]
Domestic issues, such as energy policy, national defense and economic development have featured as campaign issues in the election, coupled by foreign issues mostly concerning Taiwan’s Cross-Strait relations with Mainland China, and relations with the United States.[4][5]
As of 14 November 2023, four presidential candidates have been nominated by a party or qualified as an independent, making the election the most contested since 2000. The winner of the 2024 presidential election is scheduled to be inaugurated on 20 May 2024.

Nominations
Democratic Progressive Party
Incumbent president, two-time Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential nominee, and former Chair of the DPP, Tsai Ing-wen is ineligible to run, having completed two consecutive terms. Tsai resigned as DPP Chair in 2022, following the party’s poor performance in the local elections of that year.[10] After Tsai’s resignation, Vice President Lai Ching-te (also known as William Lai) was unanimously elected to succeed her as Chair of the DPP.[11] Lai was previously selected to be Tsai’s running mate after she defeated him in the 2020 primary.[12] No primary was held, and Lai Ching-te, being the only individual to register in the party's presidential primary, is the nominee of the Democratic Progressive Party.[13][14][15]
In November 2023, it was reported that Lai was considering selecting Hsiao Bi-khim, Taiwan’s envoy to the United States, as his running mate.[16]

Kuomintang
Hou Yu-ih, the Mayor of New Taipei since 2018, was drafted by the Kuomintang on 17 May 2023 to be its nominee for the presidency.[17] Hou faced opposition from Foxconn founder Terry Gou, who vowed to support him as the KMT’s nominee.[18]
In late 2023, the KMT and fellow opposition party Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) began talks concerning the possibility of a joint presidential ticket; many in either party considered a joint ticket to be the best chance of toppling the DPP from power.[19] It is unclear if Hou will remain as the presidential nominee with Ko Wen-je of the TPP as his running mate.[20] Both parties agreed to use polling to determine the ticket's composition on 13 November, but the rules of the polling remain unknown.[21]

Other parties and independents
All independent and minor party candidates need a minimum of 290,000 signatures to register with the Central Election Commision.[24]
Terry Gou
Billionaire businessman Terry Gou, who founded the global technology manufacturing company Foxconn in 1974, declared his own presidential run as an independent candidate on 28 August 2023.[25] This was despite previously stating he would support Kuomintang nominee Hou Yu-ih. The KMT described Gou’s announcement as ‘deeply regrettable’.[26] Lai Ching-te welcomed Gou’s entrance into the race, saying he would be happy to take on the challenge.[27] Gou was the first of the mainstream candidates to announce his running mate; he selected actress Lai Pei-hsia (otherwise known as Tammy Lai) as his running mate on 14 September.[28] Lai had previously played a fictional Taiwanese presidential candidate on a Chinese-language Netflix series, Wave Makers.[29] Gou’s campaign was mired by allegations that it was buying signatures.[30] By November 2023, at least 20 separate investigations into fraudulent practices and signature forgeries were opened.[31] 7 people were arrested in what was described as a ‘signature-buying scheme’ a few weeks earlier.[32] Gou denied these allegations, and claimed that individuals who were buying signatures were acting on their own accord and were not part of his official campaign. Gou submitted his signatures on 1 November 2023.[33] On 13 November, over 900,000 of Gou’s submitted signatures were validated by the election commission, qualifying him to run the presidential election.[34]

Election campaign
Throughout the election campaign, almost all polls have showed Vice President William Lai winning the election by a plurality (~32%), with the rest of the vote being split between the KMT and TPP.[36] Lai’s chances of winning increased in September 2023, when Terry Gou announced his own independent bid for the presidency.[37] In August 2023, amid campaiging, Lai Ching-te went to Paraguay for an official visit in his capacity as Vice President, with two stopovers in the United States.[38] Lai insisted he was not campaigning during the trips.[39] In late October, China opened an investigation into Foxconn, after Chinese tax authorities conducted an audit of the company’s subsidies in the Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces.[40]
Possible KMT–TPP joint ticket
In late 2023, talks of a possible joint ticket between the KMT and TPP began.[41] It was initially unclear if the KMT’s Hou Yu-ih and the TPP’s Ko Wen-je will join as a ticket, let alone who will be the nominee for president and vice president once a joint ticket was announced.[42] The DPP’s Lai stated he would be able to take on the challenge of a joint ticket, and critized the pan-blue coalition plans, arguing the two parties do not share enough similarity in ideology.[43] In November, Ko said that deciding who would lead the ticket as the presidential nominee was the ‘only hurdle’ remaining in forming the ticket.[44] On 13 November, the KMT and TPP agreed to use polling to determine the composition of the joint presidential ticket.[21]
