On the first day of registration for the Kinmen County councillor election, Shang Wen-kai, drafted by the Taiwan People's Party, was the first to complete her paperwork — a generational handover for the family of the current deputy speaker.

• Shang Wen-kai was the first to register on the opening day, standing for the Taiwan People's Party in the race for the 9th Kinmen County Council.
• Her spouse is the current deputy speaker of the county council, Ouyang Yi-hsiung, who intends to hand over the reins and accompanied her throughout the registration.
• Ouyang Yi-hsiung publicly voiced his confidence in her, saying he believes she will go on to perform even better than he has.
• Shang Wen-kai is campaigning on solving problems in practice, saying she will not be the kind of representative who only picks faults with words, and stressing oversight of county government and the promotion of public works.
• She worked in banking for many years and ran as the Taiwan People's Party candidate for Kinmen's legislative seat in 2024, winning more than 13,000 votes.

Outlook: with many newcomers and fierce competition, whether Shang Wen-kai can convert her popularity from the last legislative election into a council seat will be a key point to watch in this local election.
