Lin Kuo-cheng

Lin Kuo-cheng (; born 20 August 1957) is a Taiwanese politician. He was a member of the Taipei City Council between 2008 and 2022. He ran for the Legislative Yuan twice, in 2020 and 2024, winning the latter election.

Early life and education Lin was born in Pingtung County on 20 August 1957. After high school, he graduated from TransWorld University with a bachelor's degree in public relations and a Master of Science (M.S.) in management science.

Political career Lin served on the Taipei City Council from 2008 to 2022, and for most of his municipal tenure was affiliated with the People First Party. In 2018, Lin joined a group of several PFP and independent municipal councilor candidates, which later became the Taipei Supervising Alliance. Throughout that year, Ko Wen-je was seen at several of Lin's campaign events. Lin retained his Taipei City Council seat as a People First Party candidate in the year-end election.

Soon after Ko formally founded the Taiwan People's Party, Lin Kuo-cheng's daughter was invited to serve as a party spokesperson. Lin Kuo-cheng also joined the party, and ran in the 2020 legislative election as a TPP party list candidate. He was not seated to the 10th Legislative Yuan.

After the 11th Legislative Yuan was convened, Lin was the only TPP legislator considered for a committee co-chair position. However, the legislature's transportation committee selected Chen Hsueh-sheng and Lee Kun-tse. In line with TPP regulations, Lin announced his resignation from the Legislative Yuan in January 2026.

In February 2026, Lin was indicted for using profanity against President Lai Ching-te in a speech delivered on 25 July 2025.
