Political career

Wu was first elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1998, and served until 2002. He ran for the Kaohsiung County magistracy in 2001 as the Kuomintang's formal candidate, having run against fellow KMT member Huang Pa-yeh and People First Party candidate Chung Shao-ho. Wu won a second legislative term in 2004, and lost reelection in 2008 to Chen Chi-yu. In 2011, the Taiwan High Court found Wu guilty of buying votes during the 2004 election cycle, and sentenced him to two years and ten months imprisonment.
