In the 2008 LegCo elections, Chan was elected into LegCo along with Civic Party leader Audrey Eu and Discovery Bay candidate Amy Yung.
In January 2010, Chan, and other four lawmakers, Albert Chan, Alan Leong, Leung Kwok-hung and Wong Yuk-man resigned from LegCo, forcing a by-election, which they would treat as a "de facto referendum" to press the Central Government into allowing universal suffrage in Hong Kong.[3] On 16 May 2010, she was re-elected as a lawmaker in the by-election.[4]
