The movement of four candidates has become active toward the acquisition of the "local vote" for the Constitutional Democratic Party.

In the representative election of the Constitutional Democratic Party, each of the four candidates is activating the movement to expand support, such as holding meetings with local councilors to obtain so-called local votes.

The representative election of the Constitutional Democratic Party is to be contested by the so-called local vote point system, which is voted by local members, party members and supporters in addition to parliamentarians, and four candidates occupy half of the points. We are activating the movement toward the acquisition of local votes.

Former Prime Minister's Assistant to the Prime Minister, Osaka, discussed with the executives of the camp on measures for local votes on the night of the 22nd.

Mr. Osaka told reporters, "I would like to aim to win a local vote while sharing the experience of working in the field of local autonomy for 22 years and achieving concrete results such as increasing the local allocation tax." I did.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Ogawa, the Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly, met with about 30 local councilors from Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Chiba and requested support.

Mr. Ogawa told reporters, "We also send postcards with the help of local councilors as a measure for party members and supporters. We would like to stand on the streets and work in a complex manner."

Izumi, the chairman of the political investigation, met online with about 50 local councilors nationwide on the night of the 22nd.

Mr. Izumi told reporters, "There are voices from local councilors who want to support one after another. I would like to spread the appeal to all parts of the country by expanding it horizontally."

On the night of the 22nd, former Deputy Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Nishimura heard requests from about 20 local councilors, mainly women, from Tokyo and other local councilors, and asked for support.

Mr. Nishimura told reporters, "It doesn't matter if it's small, so if you can talk to it directly, I think it will lead to the victory of the representative election."

Local votes are voted in advance by mail, etc., and the results of the ballot counting are to be announced just before the votes of the members of the Diet on the 30th next week. We are working to expand support as it may have an impact.
