Political career
Lo was first elected in Kaohsiung 1st district in 2001, and won reelection for the same seat in 2004. In 2006, Lwo contested the Kuomintang nomination for the Kaohsiung mayoralty. The party backed Huang Jun-ying, and Huang lost to Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chen Chu. Lwo remained a member of the Legislative Yuan, and in May 2006, proposed a recall motion against president Chen Shui-bian that was rejected. His 2008 reelection bid featured the use of caricatures of himself as a bear. After Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan in 2009, Lwo was named to a committee specially convened to handle disaster relief.
