Political context prior to the electionsAs the capital of Taiwan, Taipei functions as the economic and political center of Taiwan, and is currently its largest city. Taipei's mayoral race has been hotly contested between Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party since the 1994 local election. This seat has notably been held by former presidents Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian, and Ma Ying-jeou. The position has been widely speculated to be a "first-step" towards the presidential office.^[7]

In 2014 DPP-supported independent candidate Ko Wen-je received a 57% majority of the votes over Kuomintang's Sean Lien, ending the 16-year Kuomintang administration of Taipei.

Political context prior to the electionsNew Taipei City is located in the northernmost region of Taiwan and is the ROC's most populous city. New Taipei was upgraded to Special Municipality status in 2010.^{[12] [13]} Due to the vast territory, the number of voters has surpassed 3 million, becoming a Pan blue coalition and Pan green coalition camps battleground.^{[14] [15]}

Before upgrading to special municipality status, the then Taipei County was controlled by the Kuomintang until the 1989 local election, with the then newly formed Democratic Progressive Party winning the seat for four straight terms in 16 years until Kuomintang's Chou Hsi-wei^[16] won power in 2005.

After the upgrade to special municipality status in 2010, Kuomintang's Eric Chu^[17] won the seat for two consecutive terms, including the 2014 local election.

Political context prior to the electionsIn late 2014, Taoyuan City was upgraded to special municipality status from Taoyuan County.^[19] Taoyuan is known for its diversity, mostly migrants from South East Asia region. Before the 1990s, Taoyuan County has been long held by Kuomintang except 1977-1979, 1997-2001 and 2014 until present.

In the 1997 by-election, the Democratic Progressive Party nominated Annette Lu, winning the seat over the Kuomintang and subsequently won it until the 2001 local election.

In 2001 local election, Kuomintang won the seat back from the DPP for three straight terms in 13 years until 2014 local election, losing to the Democratic Progressive Party-nominated candidate Cheng Wen-tsan by 30,000 votes.^[20]

Tainan City is located in Taiwan's Chia-Nan Plain, is a cultural capital for its history. Tainan City was merged and reorganized at the end of 2010, merging with Tainan County of Taiwan Province.^[25]

The original Tainan County in the 1990s, Kuomintang local faction took turns taking control. However, Tainan County turned blue to green until Democratic Progressive Party's candidate Mark Chen became the mayor in 1993 until the merger between the county and the city was since led by the Democratic Progressive Party.^[26]

The original Tainan City was dominated by Independents and the Kuomintang government for many years before the 1990s. Since 1997, the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Helen Chang was elected mayor, the former Tainan City since had been governed by the Democratic Progressive Party at the county level. After the merger of counties and cities in 2010, the DPP's William Lai was also elected as mayor.^[27]

Kaohsiung is the third largest city in Taiwan and capital of the political and economic center of the southern region. The special municipality city is merged in 2010 with Kaohsiung County from Taiwan Province.^[29] The former Kaohsiung County before the 1980s is led by the Kuomintang, and the independents until 1985 where Democratic Progressive Party has led the county until the merger of the county and city.

Since the implementation of local autonomy in 1950, the former Kaohsiung City has been led by the KMT except the 6th mayor Yang Jinhu, who was a non-KMT candidate. After Kaohsiung was elevated into a municipality in 1979, the mayor was appointed by the Central Government and opened up first election in 1994 where Kuomintang's Wu Den-yih was first elected mayor of the city. In 1998, the Democratic Progressive Party's Frank Hsieh won the mayoral election by a slim margin over the incumbent mayor Wu Den-yih, starting the DPP's straight 4 terms, 16 years rule until the merger.
