Shiori Yamao, a member of the House of Representatives of the Democratic Party for the People, said in a video on the Internet that he would like to break this term, and stated that he would not run for the next House of Representatives election.
In April, a member of the House of Representatives Yamao of the Democratic Party for the People was punished by the party with strict caution after it was revealed in a weekly magazine report that he was using the JR Pass provided for his activities as a private member. On the other hand, he indicated his intention to continue his activities as a member of the Diet.
Mr. Yamao posted a video on "YouTube" on the 17th, saying, "I have something I want to start anew from a different position than a politician. I want to make this term a break as a politician." He announced his intention not to run for the next House of Representatives election.
Mr. Yamao was elected to the 7th district of the House of Representatives Aichi three times, and was scheduled to run for the next House of Representatives election from the proportional representative Tokyo block.
