Political Career
In December 2005, Chan participated in the protest march for democracy, against Donald Tsang's constitutional reform package and has since participated in subsequent marches for universal suffrage.
In July 2006, she criticised the Commission on Strategic Development, chaired by Donald Tsang, for being "rather slow and unsatisfactory", and announced her intention to start a "Core Group" to push for taking forward the debate on Hong Kong’s constitutional reforms. It was later announced that the group would consist of:
- Allen Lee, former Liberal Party chairman
- Christine Loh, Convenor of the Civic Exchange
- Elizabeth Bosher
- Professor Johannes Chan
- Chandran Nair
- Lily Yam Kwan Pui-ying
On 23 September 2006, in a news conference, Chan proclaimed that she would not run for the position of Chief Executive in 2007.

Famous quotes related to political career:
“No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life’s course by a mere accident.”
—James Bryce (1838–1922)
