Political career edit

Before Liu's acting mayorship, he had previously served as the municipal advisor, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and deputy secretary-general in the New Taipei City Government.[2]

In September 2023, Liu took the office as acting mayor after the incumbent mayor, Hou Yu-ih, took leave to run in the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election.[3]
