Chen Hsing-yu denies rumors of political candidacy

Speculation has emerged regarding whether Chen Hsing-yu, daughter of former President Chen Shui-bian, will enter politics. Following recent high-profile media coverage concerning her personal disputes and financial disagreements with her ex-husband, Kuomintang legislator Hsieh Lung-chieh suggested that the timing and nature of these news cycles might be a strategic move by Chen Shui-bian to pave the way for her candidacy in Tainan.

Hsieh noted that the sequence of events resembles past political maneuvers used by the former president. He suggested that if the family seeks to maintain political influence, Chen Hsing-yu could be a candidate for legislative seats in areas currently held by Democratic Progressive Party members.

Chen Hsing-yu has explicitly denied these rumors, stating multiple times, “I don't have, I don't want to,” and emphasizing that she has no interest in politics, identifying herself primarily as a dentist. While she rejected the speculation of running for office, she did express support for Chen Ting-fei.
