He was reelected to the Penghu County legislative seat in 1992,[2] and in the midst of his second term, cofounded the New Party, in 1993.[1][3] Chen was reelected to a third legislative term in 1995, via the New Party proportional representation party list.[4] Chen was one of many legislators to be implicated in a wide-ranging insider trading scandal that also affected Andrew Oung, among others.[5]
