He, Chen Kuei-miao, and others broke away from the Kuomintang to found the New Party the next year.[3][4] He joined James Soong's People First Party in 2000 to support Soong's first presidential bid,[3] but continued serving as the leader of the New Party's national election and development committee during the 2000 election.[5] Lee left the PFP in May 2005 and rejoined the Kuomintang.[6][7] Lee lost his legislative seat to Huang Kuo-chang of the New Power Party in 2016.[8]
