Political career
editLin began his political career as mayor of Ren'ai, Nantou and later served on the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council.[5] He was first elected to the Legislative Yuan in 1998. In 2000, Lin's Kuomintang membership was revoked after he was found to have breached party regulations during the 2000 presidential election.[6] He was reelected in 2001 as a member of the People First Party and won a third term in 2004. That year, Lin and Liao Kuo-tung led a protest against Vice President Annette Lu, after she stated that aborigines were not the first people to live in Taiwan and that the group should move to Central America.[7] Lin ran again in the legislative elections of 2008 and finished fourth in the Highland Aborigine district.[8] In February, Lin was indicted for vote buying.[9]
