Political career

[edit | edit source]

Chang, a former adviser to Chen Shui-bian,[1] ran as an independent vice-presidential candidate (on the ticket of James Soong) in the 2000 election.[2] Along with Soong, he established the People First Party in 2000, after their defeat in the presidential election.[3][4] Chang was named the PFP's top choice as a fusion candidate for the 2002 Kaohsiung mayoral election.[5][6] When Chang ended his campaign, the PFP moved to support Chang Po-ya.[7][8] The Pan-Blue coalition formally selected Kuomintang member Huang Jun-ying.[9] In 2006, Chang announced his retirement from politics after Soong heavily lost in the Taipei mayoral election.[10][11]
