The Taiwan Statebuilding Party (TSP; Chinese: 台灣基進; pinyin: Táiwān Jījìn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân Ki-chìn) is a political party in the Republic of China (Taiwan). The party was established in 2016 as Taiwan Radical Wings. The party is considered a rather close ally of the DPP, while fighting to replace opposition parties whom TSP unilaterally claims as “not loyal to Taiwan”, such as Kuomintang and TPP. In Taiwan’s 2024 Legislative Election, TSP failed to gain any seat in the Legislative Yuan and lost its status as a national political party.

History

As of 2018, the chairperson was Chen Yi-chi.

In the 2020 legislative elections in Taiwan, the party won one seat, with Chen Po-wei becoming its first member of the Legislative Yuan.

In October 2021, Chen became the first member of the Legislative Yuan to be successfully recalled, ending his term less than two years into office. Votes for Chen's recall numbered 77,899, against 73,433 opposing his recall. Votes supporting the recall topped 25% of the eligible electorate (73,744), with 51.72 percent voter turnout. Per Article 92 of the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act [zh], Chen will be ineligible to run for the Legislative Yuan in Taichung's second district for the next four years. On 28 October 2021, he was officially dismissed from the Legislative Yuan.

Policies

TSP was once described as a left-wing, progressive and pro-independence party.
