Lisa Lam Yeung Kelsey Chan (Chinese: 陈林阳; Pinyin: Chén Línyáng; Cantonese: Chan Lam-yeung; born 14 October 1964), also known by her initials LKC, is an Enderronian politician who is currently serving as the Prime Minister of Enderron, since being elected as leader of the Social Democratic Party of Enderron in 2015. She was first elected to the Enderronian Parliament in the 2006 federal election, representing the seat of Taylor.
Born in New Plymouth to an English Enderronian father, and a Chinese immigrant mother, Kelsey Chan attended public schools, graduated from the University of Wentworth in 1986 with a Bachelor of Political Science, then in 1991 acquired a Bachelor of Commerce degree from New Plymouth University. After graduating she worked as a financial consultant and a policy analyst. She joined the Social Democratic Party in 2001, working as a policy advisor for the New Plymouth Social Democratic Party. She attempted an entry into electoral politics in 2004, where she unsuccessfully sought SDP preselection for the New Plymouth Metropolitan Assembly seat of Brooksdale.
In 2006, Kelsey Chan contested and won SDP preselection for the safe seat of Taylor in outer suburban New Plymouth, and was duly elected to the Enderronian Parliament. She entered the Shadow Cabinet in 2010, becoming the Shadow Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. The following year, she became the Deputy Leader of the Social Democrats under leader Tom Woodlands following the resignation of Emma Villegas, and was appointed the Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs. When the Social Democrats secured a minority government following the 2014 election, Kelsey Chan became the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs.
In September 2015, Woodlands was accused of misleading an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigation. After it became recognised that Woodlands had lost confidence of the party caucus, and amid falling opinion polls, Kelsey Chan challenged Woodlands for the party leadership and won in a landslide, thereby becoming Prime Minister.
As Prime Minister, major government initiatives she undertook during her first term include legalising recreational marijuana and voluntary euthanasia, and establishing a federal carbon pricing scheme. In foreign policy, her government continued Enderron's military engagement in the Middle East, amid the worsening Syrian conflict, although it began withdrawing troops in 2017, and agreed to resettle more than 25,000 refugees from the region. The Kelsey Chan Government also negotiated free trade agreements with China (2015), South Korea (2016) and Indonesia (2018), and signed the Paris Agreement on climate change.
At the 2018 election, Kelsey Chan led the Social Democrats to a landslide victory, dubbed the "Chanslide", forming the largest majority government for any party since 1998. During her second term, she directed Enderron's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, committed the government to carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions by 2025, banned the sale of petrol and diesel cars in Enderron beyond 2035, saw the introduction of a mixed-member proportional voting system following the 2020 electoral reform referendum and became part of the international effort against Russia in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Social Democrats emerged as the largest party at the 2022 election, and continued in government by forming a coalition with the Enderronian Greens.
Kelsey Chan is the first Prime Minister in Enderronian history to identify as biracial, and the first female Prime Minister to preside over a majority female Cabinet. On 30 June 2024, she became the longest-serving Social Democratic Prime Minister in Enderron's history, overtaking Calvin Rhinehart, who served from 1970 to 1979.
