Lee Hung-chun (Chinese: 李鴻鈞; pinyin: Lǐ Hóngjūn; born 11 May 1959) is a Taiwanese politician who serves as the vice president of the Control Yuan since 1 August 2022. Before his vice-presidentship, he serves as the member of Legislative Yuan for eighteen years from 2002 to 2020.

Early life and education

Lee Hung-chun's father Lee Teng-hui was the former head of Taishan, New Taipei. His elder brother is politician Lee Hong-yuan.[1]

Lee Hung-chun was born in present-day New Taipei on 11 May 1959.[2][3] After graduating from the Lee-Ming Institute of Technology, he earned a doctorate in structural engineering from Nihon University.

Political career

Lee won election to the Legislative Yuan in 2001 as a People First Party candidate for Taipei County's second district.[4] He retained the office in 2004.[5] Lee subsequently served two consecutive terms as legislator representing Taipei County's fourth district,[6][7] followed by a single term on the PFP party list.[8] As the Ninth Legislative Yuan opened, Lee received four votes to serve as the body's speaker.[9] Though Lee ranked second on the party list during the 2020 legislative election,[3] the People First Party lost all of its seats and was supplanted as a third party by the Taiwan People's Party.

In May 2022, Tsai Ing-wen nominated Lee for the vacant vice presidency of the Control Yuan.[10] Lee stated that he would resign his position as PFP secretary-general,[10] which he had held since 2019,[11] as well as his party membership.[10] He was formally confirmed to the Control Yuan on 24 May 2022 by a 99–2 vote of the Legislative Yuan.[12]
