In the 2018 Hong Kong Island by-election triggered by the oath-taking controversy which resulted in the disqualification of Demosisto's Nathan Law, Chan became the pro-Beijing representative to run against Au Nok-hin.[2] Despite receiving more than 120,000 votes, she lost to Au with a narrow margin of 3.5 per cent.[3]

On 5 January 2022, Carrie Lam announced new warnings and restrictions against social gathering due to potential COVID-19 outbreaks.[4] One day later, it was discovered that Chan attended a birthday party hosted by Witman Hung Wai-man, with 222 guests.[5][6] [7] At least one guest tested positive with COVID-19, causing all guests to be quarantined.[7] Chan was warned by Legislative Council president Andrew Leung to not attend any meetings until after finishing her last mandatory Covid-19 test on 22 January 2022.[8] However, she decided to attend the meeting on 19 January 2022, against Leung's orders.[8] About the party, Chan said "It was held shortly after an intense Legislative Council election, and the same day as our oath-taking ceremony, so we just went there to chill and celebrate".[9]
