The Yamagata prefectural governor's election, which was a battle between incumbent and new women, was voted on the 24th, and Mieko Yoshimura, who is incumbent, confirmed her fourth election.
Voting for the Yamagata prefectural governor's election is closed by 8:00 pm, and some local governments have begun counting votes.
Although there is no announcement from the Election Commission, NHK's preliminary situation coverage and exit polls targeting those who voted on the 24th showed that Mieko Yoshimura, who is incumbent, recommended a large number of newcomers recommended by the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Prefectural Headquarters. It is extremely superior to Mr. Rika Uchi.
Also, in a survey conducted on people who voted early by the 23rd, Mr. Yoshimura exceeded the number, and it is expected that the number of votes will increase steadily in the future, so Mr. Yoshimura's fourth election is certain. It was.
Mr. Yoshimura is 69 years old from Oe Town, Yamagata Prefecture.
After working as a prefectural board of education, I was elected for the first time in the 2009 governor's election, and after that I was elected twice in a row without a vote.
In this election campaign, which was the first governor's election to fight between women, Mr. Yoshimura, with the support of the Constitutional Democratic Party and other prefectural organizations, is taking steps to raise children while responding to the new coronavirus and heavy snowfall. I appealed for free of charge.
As a result, in addition to the supporters of both the ruling and opposition parties, we received widespread support from nonpartisan groups and ensured the fourth election.
