Political career

Wu was elected to the Legislative Yuan in January 2024 via the Taiwan People's Party list for proportional representation, and has served as secretary-general of the TPP caucus.[8] As a legislator, he continued advocating for educational and economic policy proposals to consider Taiwan's strong generation,[7][9][10] and has discussed related issues with foreign delegations to Taiwan.[10] In June 2024, legislator Wang Ting-yu alleged that Wu had skipped a vote on a bill exempting party-affiliated organizations from being implicated for holding ill-gotten assets.[11]
