Sir Oliver Hen-Ji CK (born Oliver Henji Luoshan, 2 March 1957 – 15 October 2058) was a Craftian lawyer, author and politician who served as the 11th Prime Minister of Craftia, serving from 2016 to 2019. The founder of the classical liberal and centrist Craftian Reform Party, he was a prominent figure in Craftian politics for four decades, serving near-continuously in the Parliament of Craftia from 2007 to 2046 (the only exception being between August 2033 and August 2034). He was the third Prime Minister of Asian and non-white heritage.
Hen-Ji became Prime Minister after leading a nascent Reform Party to a minority government at the 2016 election, a time when national politics was being upturned by distrust with the major parties and a turbulent economy. Although he remained extremely personally popular, the Hen-Ji Government proved incapable of leading Craftia through the late 2010s recession, and was defeated in a landslide after a single term at the 2019 election to the social democratic National United Party, which formed a majority government. Despite this, the Reform Party had established itself as the new third party in Craftian politics, in the process knocking the Liberal Party of Craftia down to fourth-largest party, a situation that would remain for the next two decades. A resurgence of Reform occurred at the 2031 election, with Hen-Ji becoming Leader of the Opposition once more. He retired from parliament in 2033, citing family reasons, and was replaced by his deputy Timothy Lee, who led Reform to minority government at the next election in 2034. At the same time, Hen-Ji returned to federal politics, serving in the short-lived Lee Government, which was removed from office in 2035 by a vote of no confidence.
Hen-Ji, now aged 82, contested the 2039 presidential election under the banner of the Reform Party, to capitalise on his popularity and to stir new interest in his party, which had flatlined in the polls and was being displaced by the Liberals. He placed third, winning 14.44% of the popular vote. After the Reform Party declined in the early 2040s, he returned to the leadership of the party in 2044, leading the party in the 2046 federal election, where it won 12 of 125 seats on a 6.58% swing. He then permanently retired from politics at the age of 85.
