Chen Po-wei (Chinese: 陳柏惟; born 10 July 1985)[citation needed] is a Taiwanese politician. He was elected to the Legislative Yuan in the 2020 legislative election.

Political career[]

Chen served as the spokesperson for the Taiwan Statebuilding Party (then known as Taiwan Radical Wings) and supported a recall movement against Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu. Throughout his political career, he has been a vocal supporter of Taiwan independence.[1]

In the 2020 legislative elections, Chen defeated Kuomintang incumbent Yen Kuan-heng in the Taichung City Constituency II becoming the first Taiwan Statebuilding Party legislator. His candidacy was supported by the Democratic Progressive Party and filmmaker Wu Nien-jen.[2]

In late 2020, Chen stood with Democratic Progressive Party to support the import of American pork with ractopamine.[3]

A proposal to recall Chen from office collected 3,744 valid signatures by 5 March 2021,[4] and 36,073 valid signatures by 2 July 2021,[5] prompting the Central Election Commission to tentatively schedule a recall election for 28 August, the same date as the originally scheduled 2021 Taiwanese referendum. Due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan, the CEC announced on 16 July 2021 that  [zh] would be postponed to 23 October 2021.[6]
