Uniform regional elections in Japan 2019

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 19th uniform regional elections ( Japanese 第 19 回 統一 地方 選 挙 , dai-jūkyu-kai tōitsu chihōhung ) in Japan for heads of administration and parliaments of the regional authorities for four-year terms took place on April 7 and 21, 2019. At the same time, by-elections to the national parliament were held.

Importance of elections

For the national LDP - Kōmeitō government of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe , the elections were a test of the mood before the regular election of councilors in July , the planned VAT increase in autumn 2019 and the concrete elaboration of a constitutional amendment proposal in the national parliament for submission to the people, which Abe wanted during his term of office even if many prefectural and municipal elections are determined by local subjects and people. The national opposition, split up into several parties, negotiated cooperation and joint nominations for candidates.

In Osaka, the governor and the mayor of the city of Osaka (both from the Ishin no Kai ) have resigned in order to win a new mandate for the to plan, the conversion of the city of Osaka into special districts of the Ishin no Kai, which is aimed at by the Ishin no Kai Prefecture (then -to instead of -fu ) Osaka. In a first referendum in the city of Osaka in May 2015, a first to-plan just failed.

elections

In the uniform regional elections in 2019, the following were available:

The share of unified elections in all prefectural and local elections fell only slightly compared to the last unified elections in 2015 to 27.27%. More than 80% of all prefecture, city and special district parliamentary elections take place in a uniform cycle, on the other hand less than 11% of the mayors of independent cities (excluding large cities) are elected in the uniform elections.

At the same time as the second phase of the unified elections on April 21, by-elections for the national parliament took place: for the House of Representatives in the constituencies Osaka 12 and Okinawa 3; A seat of Hyōgo is vacant in the council house , but it will be available for election in the regular election in July 2019 and will remain vacant until then.

Candidates and Results

According to information from the public broadcaster NHK , the replacing incumbents of Ishin no Kai prevailed in the gubernatorial election in Osaka and the mayoral election in the city of Osaka . The gubernatorial election in Hokkaidō won government candidate Naomichi Suzuki, in Shimane Tatsuya Maruyama won. The incumbents were confirmed in the gubernatorial elections in Kanagawa, Mie, Nara, Tottori, Tokushima, Fukuoka and Ōita. In Fukui, Tatsuji Sugimoto, supported by the national LDP , was able to prevail against Governor Nishikawa, even though he had parts of the LDP Fukui behind him in addition to national opposition parties.

In the mayoral elections in Sapporo, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka and Hiroshima, the incumbents were confirmed, in Sagamihara the former national representative Motomura won.

Ishin no Kai again won an absolute majority in the Osaka prefectural parliament, and narrowly missed an absolute majority in the Osaka city parliament, but it is clearly the strongest party. In the 41 prefectural parliamentary elections in total, the LDP won more than half of the seats, as in 2015, an absolute majority in 25 parliaments, and is the strongest force in 37 (although only in Osaka is another party stronger, in Nagano, Ehime and Ōita it is Independent). The KDP recorded gains compared to before the election, the DVP lost , and together the two parties won fewer seats than the Democratic Party four years ago. The CPY also lost some seats and is no longer represented in Aichi. The Ishin no Kai not only won additional seats in Osaka, it was also able to gain additional seats in several other prefectures. The Kōmeitō narrowly missed their election goal to make all 339 nominees for prefecture and metropolitan parliaments to election winners, since in the city parliament elections in Osaka and Kyoto each lost a Kōmeitō candidate. The turnout reached a record low in 33 prefectural parliamentary elections.

According to the NHK, the LDP lost both lower house by-elections: Ishin candidate Fumitake Fujita prevailed in Osaka, and Tomohiro Yara, the left opposition's anti-US base united front candidate, prevailed in Okinawa.
