Former mayor Akiyoshi Endo (68) defeated a new former member of the House of Representatives. Endo was first elected as mayor of Tokushima eight years ago and served for one term.
Voting for the Tokushima mayoral election closed at 8 p.m. on the 7th. It is expected that the number of votes will steadily increase in the future, making it certain that Mr. EndO will be elected for the second time, says NHK's situation coverage and an exit poll.
