Chen Hung-chang (Chinese: 陳宏昌; pinyin: Chén Hóngchāng; born 2 March 1956) is a Taiwanese politician.

Education

Chen attended Luzhou Elementary School [zh] and New Taipei Municipal Luzhou High School [zh]. He graduated from the Sze Hai College of Technology and Commerce before he finished his studies at the University of the East in the Philippines.[1][2]

Political career

Chen was elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1992, representing Taipei County.[3] He was elected to represent Taipei County 2 in 1995,[4] 1998,[1] and 2001. Chen did not vote for the Kuomintang party caucus during his time in legislature. [5][6] Chen proposed that Ma Ying-jeou and Wang Jin-pyng form a Kuomintang presidential ticket before the Pan-Blue Coalition presidential ticket for the 2004 presidential election were finalised.[7] Chen was outspoken about a proposal to merge the People First Party into the Kuomintang after the coalition ticket of Lien Chan and James Soong lost the election. [8]

When he left the legislature at the end of his fourth term, Chen led the Luzhou Younglian Temple [zh] in New Taipei City.[9] He also served on the Kuomintang Central Review Committee.[10]

Chen got his party membership revoked after statements of the Kuomintang's 2020 presidential candidate, Han Kuo-yu, in August 2019. [11] [12][13] Chen remained a political independent after his expulsion.[14]

Personal life

Chen has a son.[15][16]
