Wu Rong-ming (; born 23 December 1943) is a Taiwanese politician.
In the 1980s, Wu worked in the Taipei City Government. From 1993 to 1994, he was secretary-general of the Examination Yuan. Wu was close to James Soong, whom he served under as vice governor of Taiwan Province from 1994 to 1998.[1] The Kuomintang chose to expel Soong in 1999 for running an independent presidential campaign. Wu, who had resigned his position as minister without portfolio to become Soong's campaign manager,[2] [3] had his party membership rescinded.[4] After Chen Shui-bian won the presidential election, it was reported that Wu had Premier Tang Fei's support to lead the Ministry of the Interior.[5] Instead, Wu was officially named minister without portfolio for the second time and led the Ministry of Civil Service under the purview of the Examination Yuan.[6] Wu was appointed as Vice President of the Examination Yuan in May 2004,[7] and confirmed to the office in June.[8] On 1 September 2008, Wu became chairman of Taiwan Sugar Corporation.[9] He resigned the position on 14 November, because he was opposed to the appointment of Chen Ching-bin as company president.[10] [11] Wu was succeeded by Hu Mao-lin.[12]
