Chen Shih-kai (Chinese: 陳世凱; born 12 May 1977) is a Taiwanese politician who served as the Minister of Transportation and Communication since 2024.

Political career

Local government and Legislative Yuan campaigns

At the time of his nomination as the Democratic Progressive Party candidate for the 2013 Taichung by-election, Chen was serving as a Taichung City Councilor.[1][2] Fellow Taichung councilor Chang Liao Wan-chien [zh] served as Chen's campaign spokesperson.[3] Chen faced Kuomintang candidate Yen Kuan-heng, the son of former officeholder Yen Ching-piao, in the by-election.[4] Chen lost by 1,138 votes,[5] considered a narrow defeat in the Pan-Blue-leaning district.[6][7] Chen then returned to his position as councilor,[8] before facing Yen again in the 2016 Taiwanese legislative election,[9] retaking his council seat after losing to Yen for a second time.[10][11]

Executive Yuan

The Taichung City Football Future Development Association supported Chen's 2023 bid to lead the Chinese Taipei Football Association.[12] Later that year, Chen joined William Lai's presidential campaign as a spokesman.[13] After Lai won the January 2024 Taiwanese presidential election, Chen was appointed the spokesman of the Executive Yuan, led by Cho Jung-tai.[14][15] On 29 August 2024, Cho announced that Chen would be replacing acting minister of transportation and communications Chen Yen-po, who had assumed the role after Li Meng-yen resigned.[16][17]
