Governor Koike re-elected Government and ruling party cooperate policy Opposition parties to fight for lower house election July 6 5:24

Following the re-election of Mr. Yuriko Koike, who is incumbent in the Tokyo Governor's election, the government and the ruling party will continue to cooperate in measures against the new coronavirus. On the other hand, the opposition party is aiming to build a joint fighting system for the next House of Representatives election, considering that the criticism votes have been dispersed.

In the Tokyo Governor's election held on the 5th, incumbent Yuriko won the second election, winning overwhelmingly with over 3.6 million votes, 60% of the total.

"We are relieved because there are many people who supported Governor Koike," said Kamoshita, chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party Tokyo Metropolitan Federation.

Given that the government and the ruling party have emphasized continuity, we will continue to work with Governor Koike to take measures against the new coronavirus and to hold the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

Meanwhile, the Constitutional Democratic Party's chairman of the long-wife elections said, "We couldn't get together in each of the opposition parties. We have to make an effort to bring a single-player composition with the LDP in the next House of Representatives election." ..

The opposition party is aiming to build a joint fighting system, such as unifying the candidates, for the next House of Representatives election, based on the fact that the criticism vote against Governor Koike has been dispersed.
