In the Hyogo gubernatorial election, former Governor Saito was re-elected after a surprising reversal. Support from N-Koku Party leader Tachibana and reforms like free tuition helped secure his victory.

Voting took place on the 17th in the Hyogo Prefectural gubernatorial election following the loss of office of former Governor Motohiko Saito (47). At 8 p.m. on the same day when voting closed, Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and Mainichi Broadcasting Corporation, both headquartered in Osaka, reported in breaking news that Saito had been re-elected. Twenty supporters gathered at Saito’s election office, located in the Motomachi shopping district in Kobe, and when the announcement of his victory was made at 8 p.m., the calls of “Saito! Saito!” never stopped. Some supporters were in tears. Ten television cameras and about 100 reporters were present, and the area was also crowded with hecklers, creating a commotion. The candidates are seven, the largest number ever, including Takayuki Shimizu (50), a former member of the House of Councillors who left the Japan Restoration Party, Kazumi Inamura (52), former mayor of Amagasaki, and Mr. Saito. In terms of the election situation, Inamura was reported to be in the lead, but a person related to prefectural government pointed out that “it was truly a major reversal.” Regarding the reason for his victory, he said, “The spread of fabricated and conspiracy theories on social media. The support of N-Koku Party leader Takashi Tachibana was also a big help.” A political source also commented, “It seems he was also appreciated for implementing reforms that affect voters’ lives, such as making entrance and tuition fees for the prefectural university free, providing support for infertility treatment, and renovating school toilets.” Read more at Sponichi Annex

The reason why the governor won is because he stuck to “answering calmly without getting emotional” even when he was provoked by reporters in interviews and press conferences or asked arrogant questions by the 100 Articles Man.
It must have been frustrating for people watching in real time, but
video footage of him arguing emotionally is going to be used over and over again and will be used to manipulate people’s impressions.

Saito Motohiko said, “This election tested media literacy,” and “There was absolutely no cooperation with Tachibana. I don’t know” [856698234].

Saito was criticized for threatening an employee who had accused him of power harassment with the story of an affair, driving her to suicide. During the election campaign, Tachibana used the story of an affair to slander the employee who committed suicide and make Saito look good. That’s all there is to it.

The fact that Mayor Takashima of Ashiya did not join the coalition of 22 mayors in expressing support for Inamura means that those who are joining Inamura are on the shady side of protecting their vested interests. As expected, the youngest mayor’s term is still short, so he will not be tainted by the waves of vested interests.

Interests = something I heard online
What are these interests?
If taking on the promotion of a region is considered an interest, does that mean we should elect people who have no connection to the region in the future?

He was originally a governor from the Restoration Party, so he continued to provide subsidies to Korean schools,
but he received support from conservatives like Nishimura Yasutoshi in this election, so it’s possible he’ll change his policy.

Inamura is out of the question because he supports voting rights for foreigners.
But there are no other decent candidates who could win, so the candidates split up and it seems Saito is the winner.

I read the front page of the Asahi newspaper, but the Asahi Shimbun doesn’t seem to understand the essence of the matter. There is no mention of the behavior of the Kobe branch. I think Asahi’s decline will probably continue.

If they were to seriously investigate the Public Offices Election Law, I’m sure there would be people who fall under this category (´･ω･`)
Publication of false information
Anyone who publicizes false or distorted facts about a public office candidate with the intent of preventing the candidate from winning will be punished with imprisonment for up to four years or a fine of up to 1 million yen (Public Offices Election Law, Article 235, Paragraph 2), and their right to vote and to be elected will be suspended (Public Offices Election Law, Article 252, Paragraphs 1 and 2).

Looking at the results of the Hyogo Prefectural Gubernatorial election, Russia and China will probably think “Japanese people are too vulnerable to online manipulation lol” and will step up their interference in elections with online incitement. That’s what I’m more worried about.

No, it’s not.
Many of the people who voted for Saito were from the Ishin Party, but they were also independents.
Plus, the Ishin Party is no good in Hyogo Prefecture.

Tachibana, who moves forward by shaking up and destroying the system, is the exact opposite of a civil servant. It’s outrageous for a candidate to support the candidate next to him.

Right-wing street protesters were doing similar things,
but there were no candidates who were blatantly joining in with the right-wing street protesters.
It was more unusual for Saito to get Tachibana to support him than for Tachibana to support another candidate.
