Chen Shui-Bian is a former president of Taiwan. As a second term incumbent, he was barred from running in the 2008 Presidential Election. Instead, he endorsed the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party, Frank Hsieh. Chen Shui-Bian has been a controversial figure in Taiwan, both for his pro-Independence stance, and because of allegations of corruption in his administration. When he took office in 2000, it ended more that 50 years of domination by the Kuomintang. After a second term marred by continuous scandal and failure in legislative elections at the end of 2007, Chen Shui-Bian resigned as chairman of the DPP. His party's loss to the Pan-Blue candidate Ma Ying-Jeou in the 2008 presidential election is widely considered to be a reflection of frustrations over Chen Shui-Bian's second presidential term.
