The Communist Party has decided to withdraw candidates in 21 single-seat constituencies where the Constitutional Democratic Party and candidates compete, hoping to unify the opposition candidates as much as possible in order to realize a change of power in the lower house elections.
The Communist Party wants to create a one-on-one fight with the ruling party candidates in the single-seat constituencies of the House of Representatives election, and aims to unify them in about 70 constituencies where candidates compete with the Constitutional Democratic Party. I've been making adjustments.
And on the 13th, the Communist Party secretary general Koike announced at a press conference that he would withdraw candidates in 21 constituencies such as Hokkaido 4th district, Ibaraki 6th district, Tokyo 23rd district, Chiba 8th district, and Shizuoka 8th district. ..
Mr. Koike said that he decided to withdraw in 21 constituencies. I made an effort. "
On the other hand, "The number of candidates in the party's single-seat constituencies will be the smallest since the introduction of the current election system, and the party's activities will be restricted. It also shows my seriousness and I want to do my best to win. "
