Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Taiwan People's Party in Taipei's Songshan-Xinyi electoral district remains unchanged, which is good news for both parties' candidates, but grassroots councillors are still anxious about seats.

• Hsu Chiao-hsin said she has seen polling data indicating that the Songshan-Xinyi district can be expected to secure five KMT seats plus one seat for the TPP's Hsu Fu, with enough votes to go around and no need to give any up.
• The KMT's Taipei City branch had earlier decided that Mayor Chiang Wan-an may not appear at campaign events for individual white-camp candidates, and it announced the vote-allocation mechanism for each district.
• When Chiang Wan-an visited temples in Songshan-Xinyi to campaign, he still publicly named Hsu Fu, which was read as a gesture of goodwill towards the cooperation.
• Several KMT legislators, including Yeh Yuan-chih, have already campaigned for Hsu Fu, and more are expected to join, easing the controversy over the so-called "Hsu Fu clause".

Outlook: With the local elections approaching, the broad direction of blue-white cooperation is likely to hold, but the details of vote allocation and campaign appearances will remain key points of friction between the two parties.
