Chen Chien-nien (Chinese: 陳建年; pinyin: Chén Jiànnián, Puyuma: Adulumau Daliyalrep; born 10 October 1947) is a Taiwanese former politician who served as the Magistrate of Taitung from 1993 to 2001 and Minister of the Council of Aboriginal Affairs from 2002 to 2005.
Life and career
[edit]Born in Taitung City, Chen entered politics in 1981 as Taitung County councillor representing the Kuomintang (KMT). He served as Magistrate of Taitung from 1993 to 2001. A member of the Puyuma tribe, he is the only indigenous politician to have served as a county magistrate in Taiwan.
In 2002, Chen quit the KMT to accept the cabinet-level Minister of the Council of Aboriginal Affairs post in Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration.[1] He resigned in 2005 due to a vote-buying charge, whilst continuing to maintain his innocence.[2][3] Following a failed appeal to the Supreme Court in 2012, he was sentenced to nine months in jail.[4]
His daughter, Asenay Daliyalrep, is currently serving as a member of the Legislative Yuan.
