Okinawa prefectural election elected by the prefectural government and ruling party

Okinawa Prefectural Election Preserving the majority of the prefectural government and maintaining the Henoko relocation policy Government June 8 5:09

In the Okinawa prefectural assembly election, although the prefectural governing party supporting Governor Tamaki who opposed the relocation of the U.S. military Futenma base to Henoko in Nago City maintained a majority, the government says that relocation to Henoko is the only solution. Assuming no change, we would like to continue moving forward with the design of the relocation.

Following the results of this election, the government's stance against the relocation of the U.S. military Futenma base to Henoko, Nago City, will continue as the prefectural ruling party supporting Governor Tamaki maintains a majority. I will take it.

However, since the difference in seats remained only slightly, an official of the Ministry of Defense said, "There is a certain possibility that Governor Tamaki will oppose the relocation."

The government says that relocation to Henoko is the only solution, and it will continue to implement the relocation plan while persistently seeking understanding, such as by visibly reducing the burden on Okinawa. I would like to continue.
