This article lists the current magistrates and mayors, the head of government, of the primary administrative divisions of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Following the dissolution of the provincial governments in 2018 after the 1998 streamlining of its provinces,[1] local autonomous bodies including the 6 special municipalities and 2 titular provinces along with 13 counties and 3 autonomous municipalities are directly administered by the central government (Executive Yuan) according to the Local Government Act.[2][3] Executive branch of the local autonomous bodies are led by a mayor or magistrate.[4] Each mayor or magistrate is elected by the population of their corresponding division with a maximum term of four years and the possibility of reelection to one more term.[2]
Currently, except for Hsinchu City all of the mayors of special municipalities and provincial cities and all of the county magistrates in the republic have won in the 2022 mayoral and magistratical elections and were sworn into office on 25 December 2022. Of the twenty-two current incumbents, nine are women—Lu Shiow-yen in Taichung City and Huang Min-hui in Chiayi City, as well as all seven magistrates for counties in central Taiwan and along the east coast. Yang Wen-ke of Hsinchu County is the oldest official (73 years, 241 days of age), while Hsinchu City's Andy Chiu is the youngest (42 years, 343 days old). Fourteen incumbents belong to the Kuomintang, five from the Democratic Progressive Party, two from the Taiwan People's Party, and one is non-partisan.
