While serving as acting Mayor of Tainan in 1985, Chen was affiliated with the Kuomintang. He was first elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1989, and represented Taiwan's 16th district, encompassing Penghu County. He was reelected to the Penghu County legislative seat in 1992, and in the midst of his second term, cofounded the New Party, in 1993. Chen was reelected to a third legislative term in 1995, via the New Party proportional representation party list. Chen was one of many legislators to be implicated in a wide-ranging insider trading scandal that also affected Andrew Oung, among others.
Chen Kuei-miao and other politicians broke away from the ruling Kuomintang in opposition to the rule of then KMT chairman and President of Taiwan, Lee Teng-hui.
