Chen Che-nan (Chinese: 陳哲男; pinyin: Chén Zhénán; born 30 March 1941) is a Taiwanese retired politician.
Born in 1941 during Japanese rule, Chen was an elementary school teacher prior to a career in politics.
Chen was expelled from the Kuomintang on 2 December 1992,[2] after becoming increasingly critical of party leaders,[1] and due to his support of the One China, one Taiwan" notion.
[3] His expulsion from the party happened in the midst of a legislative election, but occurred too late for the KMT to officially pull their support of him.
[2] Despite expulsion, Chen's vote share was still allocated to the KMT for the purposes of determining party list proportional representation.
The Taipei District Court ruled in December 2006 that Chen was to serve twelve years in prison.
