Chiu Zan (Monsilvan: 邱赞; born 10 July 1961) is a Monsilvan politician who has served as the President of Monsilva since 2009. Before becoming president, Chiu was a member of the Freedom and Democracy Party and served as deputy prime minister from 2004 to 2008 under prime minister Suen Shi-huang. She was a member of the Legislative Assembly from 2000 until September 2008, when she resigned in order to focus on her presidential campaign.
Chiu was born and grew up in Amking during the Kingdom of Monsilva. She studied law and international trade in at the University of Luhai, where she later returned in 1986 to become a law professor after studying for an LLM at Central Amking University. In 1991, she begun working for the Monsilvan government as a civil servant, and in 1993 after serving several senior roles in the diplomatic missions of Pavulturilor and Baltanla, she was appointed as the Monsilvan Ambassador to Baltanla by President Xu Zhou-da. She remained in this role until 1998 when she resigned in order to join the FDP and begin her political career.
After the resignation of Ko Guanyu as the MLA for Tsaipei, Chiu became the primary candidate for the FDP in that constituency for the 2000 federal election. Chiu won in a landside and managed to retain a large majority of votes in the 2004 federal election. Although she originally intended to run for the 2008 election, in October 2007, she announced that she was intending to run for president in the 2008 presidential election. She was declared as the FDP's candidate for the presidential election in January 2008. After a successful campaign and a landslide result at the election, Chiu was inaugurated as the fifth President of Monsilva, she succeeded Ling Mu, making Chiu Monsilva's second female president. She was also successful in being reelected as president in the 2013 presidential election and the 2018 presidential election.
Until the abolition of the Presidential Term Limits Act 1980 after a referendum, Chiu would have been unable to run for re-election again for the 2023 presidential election. However, her popularity in Monsilva lead to a petition signed by over 250,000 people to abolish the presidential term limit. This petition got enough signatures to be discussed in the Legislative Assembly, which agreed to initiate a national referendum on whether the presidential term limit should be abolished. The referendum was a success and Chiu became eligible to run for the 2023 presidential election, which she successfully won.
