Chen was active in the Civil Alliance to Promote Constitutional Reform.[1] She later led Taiwan March, an organization formed after the events of the Sunflower Student Movement.[2][3] The New Power Party was also established by a number of protest leaders in January 2015, and Chen became the political party's first secretary-general. In this role, Chen made announcements about electoral strategy in 2016,[4][5] expansion of the New Power Party,[6][7][8] and political cooperation with the Democratic Progressive Party.[9] In 2017, Chen opined on the need to defend Taiwanese sovereignty and the nation's exclusion from international organizations.[10][11] In March 2019, Chen was one of 64 candidates to contest an internal election to the NPP's executive committee.[12][13] She won one of the fifteen seats. Following the election of Chiu Hsien-chih as chairman of the New Power Party, Chen left her position as the party's secretary-general, and was succeeded by Chen Meng-hsiu. Chen Hui-min became party leader in Kaohsiung,[14][15] and launched a 2020 legislative campaign from Fongshan.[16]
