Margaret Hu

Margaret Chia Ying Hu (Chinese: 胡嘉英; Pinyin: Hú Jiāyīng; born 28 January 1952) is an Enderronian former politician who served as the 6th President of Enderron from 2003 to 2006. Before her ascension to the presidency, she served as the 7th Vice President of Enderron from 1994 to 2003.

Hu began her political career in 1984 as the MP for Richmond East in the Janszoon Prefectural Assembly, as a member of the United Party. She became the party's prefectural leader in 1990, following the resignation of Bob Marshall and becoming the Leader of the Opposition in the process. She was defeated in a leadership spill a year later by future Janszoon governor Kurt Forza. Hu subsequently left the United Party and joined the Conservative Party, and retired from prefectural politics at the 1992 prefectural election, seeking a career in federal politics.

Hu sought the Conservatives' nomination in the 1994 presidential election. She ultimately finished second to Thomas Matherson in the Conservative primaries, leading Matherson to select her as his vice presidential running mate. The Matherson–Hu ticket defeated the incumbent Social Democratic president Katelyn Mayfield, leading to Hu becoming vice president. Matherson and Hu were re-elected in 2000 with an increased margin. Following an extended period of ill health, Matherson resigned as president in March 2003, and Hu assumed the presidency and served out the remainder of his term. She ran for a full term in the 2006 election but was defeated by Helen Vandenberg.

Following the end of her presidency, she was elected to the Enderronian Parliament as the member for MacDonnell following a 2008 by-election, serving until her retirement at the 2014 election.
