KMT Issues Warning on Ten Dirty Election Tactics Ahead of Nov 28 Vote

Nov 10, 2026

Taiwan's main opposition party is sounding the alarm about dirty tricks it expects in the final stretch before the November 28 local elections, a sign of how heated and distrustful the campaign has become.

  • The KMT legislative caucus listed ten tactics it says voters should watch for, including AI deepfakes, fake polls, staged "victim" stunts, smear campaigns tying candidates to foreign influence, and biased media coverage.
  • The party accused the ruling DPP and state agencies of misusing government resources and prosecutors to target opponents, calling for strict neutrality from administrative and judicial bodies.
  • It urged ordinary voters to screenshot and report any disinformation or smear attempts they spot, framing this as a shared civic duty to protect the vote.
  • The caucus argued these tactics have shifted from one-off dirty tricks into something more organized and institutionalized, raising the stakes of the accusation.

Outlook: Expect both major parties to trade accusations of dirty tactics and media bias as the campaign intensifies over the next two and a half weeks before the November 28 election.
