Political career
editEarly political career
editYu represented the Kuomintang in the 2014 Taiwanese local elections, and was not elected to the Nantou County Council.[4][5]
Yu opposed the removal of Hung Hsiu-chu as the Kuomintang's candidate for the 2016 presidential election.[6][7] He continued to work for Hung during her tenure as Kuomintang leader.[8]
Yu contested the 2018 local elections, winning a seat on the Nantou County Council representing the multi-member fourth district.[9] He was the leading vote-getter in the same district during the 2022 election cycle.[1][10] That same year, Yu was also elected to the Kuomintang's Central Standing Committee.[11]
Legislative Yuan
editYu was considered a potential candidate for the 2023 Nantou by-election before the Kuomintang called in Lin Ming-chen.[12][13] Yu won over 70,000 votes in the 2024 legislative election defeating incumbent Democratic Progressive Party legislator Frida Tsai and independent candidate Chen Kuei-yu in the Legislative Yuan's Nantou II constituency.[14][15] His campaign was backed by Nantou magistrate Hsu Shu-hua and performed well in the townships of Lugu and Zhushan.[16] Yu also benefited from a split vote within the Pan-Green Coalition, as Chen had left the Democratic Progressive Party to mount an independent campaign.[17]
Personal life
editYu married Huang Zi-chien on 31 January 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their wedding ceremony was postponed to the following month.[18]
