Yeh Chu-lan

Yeh Chu-lan (葉菊蘭; pinyin: Yè Júlán) (b. 1949), a politician in Taiwan, is the acting mayor of Kaohsiung.

In 1992, she was the deputy convener of the Democratic Progressive Party Caucus in Legislative Yuan, and convener in 1995. From 2000 to 2002, Yeh was third in the Cabinet in her position as Minister of Transportation and Communications. She was Chairperson of the Council for Hakka Affairs from 2002 to 2004. In 2004 she was named Vice Premier, as well as Minister of Consumer Protection and Minister responsible for the Council for Economic Planning and Development. In late 2005, she became the acting mayor of Kaohsiung.

Yeh entered politics after her husband, Cheng Nan-jung, a dissident, chose to commit suicide rather than be arrested in 1989.

Yeh, who worked in advertising for 17 years before becoming a lawmaker, is a graduate of Fu Jen Catholic University.
