The 2024 Tsengian presidential election will be held on Friday, May 31, 2024, alongside the National State Assembly election. Incumbent president John Cheng of the People's Democratic Party will be ineligible to seek a third term.

People's Democratic Party
On July 5, 2023, Jacques Si-ma, the current Minister of Education and the former Mayor of Hillsborough, announced that he would compete in the election. More than a week later, on July 13, Alan Zeng, President of the National State Assembly, announced his nomination for the PDP candidacy. On July 14, Wu Yufeng, pop singer, actor and former NSA representative for Shimenxhi II, announced his candidacy for the PDP nomination. The next day on July 15, Pierre Raimond, former basketball player and the NSA representative for Arbre-Rose II, announced he was running for the PDP nomination.

On August 1, Chen Wen-li, representative in the NSA for Tseng City I, announced her bid for the PDP candidacy and presidency. The same day, Ren Haidong, former Tsengian ambassador to the United Nations, announced his bid for the PDP candidacy.

In October 2023, Zeng announced that Zhou Yixing, the Tsengian Ambassador to South Korea, would be selected as his running mate.

The PDP presidential primary took place on December 22, 2023, resulting in the win of Alan Zeng and James Zhou. Zeng resigned from his post the same day.

National Prosperity Party
On May 2, 2023, Qishan City NSA representative Tang Taifeng announced her bid for the NPP candidacy, if elected, she would be the first Fu'langese president and first female president. On May 30, 2023, current NPP chairman Joshua Tiao announced that he would run for the NPP candidacy. Huang-li University professor Zhang Guo-wei also announced his bid for the presidency on June 5. Mark Yi, CEO of Asia Media Company and son of Andries Yi, announced his bid for the NPP candidacy and presidency on June 10.

On December 1, Tang announced that the Minister of Labour Bernard Han would be her running mate.

The NPP presidential primary took place on December 24, 2023, resuling in the win of Tang Taifeng and Bernard Han, against the more favoured candidates of Joshua Tiao and Mark Yi. Taifeng's win shocked observers, since her libertarian politics and socially liberal views differed from those of the mainstream NPP.

New Republic Party
In February 2023, head of the NRP caucus in the NSA Carina Hsiao announced her bid for the NRP candidacy. If elected, she would be the first female president.

On September 15, 2023, member of the NSA Mitchell Zhong announced his bid for the NRP candidacy.

Independents
On May 1, 2023, activist Ouyang Li announced he was running for president as an independent.
