Ho Min-hao (Chinese: 何敏豪; pinyin: Hé Mǐnháo; born 10 July 1958), also known by the English name Mark Ho, is a Taiwanese politician who served two terms in the Legislative Yuan between 2002 and 2008.

Education

[edit]

Ho earned a bachelor's degree from National Chung Hsing University and attended graduate school at Tunghai University.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Ho served on the third National Assembly as a member of the Democratic Progressive Party,[2][3] but switched affiliations to represent the newly founded Taiwan Solidarity Union in the 2001 legislative elections.[4][5] During his first term, Ho was a member of the Legislative Yuan's National Defense Committee.[6][7] Near the start of his second term, the Taiwan Solidarity Union named Ho one of its caucus whips.[8] He was named the TSU candidate for the mayoralty of Taichung in April 2005,[9] and reelected as one of four TSU caucus whips in June.[10] Incumbent Taichung mayor Jason Hu retained his office, and Ho was later named a member of the Taiwan Solidarity Union's Central Executive Committee.[11] Ho rejoined the Democratic Progressive Party in November 2007, after defeating Wang Shih-hsun in a public opinion poll used to determine the Pan-Green Coalition's legislative candidate,[12] and lost his legislative seat to Daniel Huang.[13][14]
