Before the representative election to select the successor to Matsui of the Nippon Ishin no Kai, there are widespread voices within the party that the successor should be a member of parliament, and it is expected that the movement toward candidacy will begin in earnest in the future.
The Nippon Ishin no Kai is planning to hold a representative election to select a successor in late next month because Matsui, who has served for more than 6 years including the time of the predecessor Osaka Ishin no Kai, has indicated his intention to resign. I am adjusting.
Within the party, there are many opinions that uncontested elections should be avoided in order to continue to expand the party nationwide as a national political party.
Regarding the successor representative, there are widespread voices that it is desirable to be a member of the Diet instead of a local member, considering that the deputy representative Yoshimura and the governor of Osaka Prefecture have made clear that they will not run for office. The name of is emerging.
About 500 members of the Diet and local members belonging to the party and about 20,000 members of the general party participate in the representative election, and all of them are counted by one vote, so the key is how much support the party members can get. I'm about to grab it.
