The "Tomin First no Kai", a regional political party in Tokyo, has announced that it will not support candidates in this House of Representatives election.
Chiharu Araki, the representative of the regional political party "Tomin First no Kai", held a press conference on the 3rd of this month and launched a new "First no Kai" to advance into national affairs. It has been revealed that it aims to support the candidates.
After that, we were proceeding with open recruitment of candidates, but on the 15th, we announced that we would not stand up.
Regarding the reason, "First no Kai" said, "Under the current election system that is advantageous to national political parties, it is difficult to meet the expectations of the citizens of Tokyo due to the fact that the announcement date has been advanced in the shortest postwar schedule, which can be said to be unusual. I made a decision. "
On that basis, he stated that he would prepare for the future national elections, saying that "we will make adjustments so that we can participate in future battles together" for those who have applied so far.
Governor Koike "Maybe it was a strategically comprehensive decision."
Governor Koike of Tokyo, who serves as a special adviser to the local political party "Tomin First no Kai," told reporters at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, "Occasionally, I exchanged opinions and consulted with Mr. Araki of the First no Kai. This time, as the situation changes every day, I understand that I made a strategic and comprehensive decision. I want to firmly accept the desire to continue taking on challenges. "
