Kazuhiro Haraguchi ( Japanese 原 口 一 博 , Haraguchi Kazuhiro ; born July 2, 1959 in Saga , Saga prefecture ) is a Japanese politician (independent → Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) → Renewal Party → New Progressive Party (NFP) → Kokumin no Koe (~ " Voice of the People ”) → Minseitō (~“ Democratic Party ”/“ Party for Democratic Politics ”) → Democratic Party → Democratic Progressive Party → Democratic People's Party ), member of the Shūgiin , the lower house, for the 1st constituency of his home prefecture and former minister.

Life

Haraguchi, a graduate of Tokyo University , attended the Matsushita Seikei Juku ( 松下 政 経 塾 , Matsushita Institute of Government and Management ) after graduating in 1983 . In 1987 he was first elected as an independent in the Saga prefectural parliament, and in 1991 re-elected for the LDP. In the Shūgiin election in 1993 , he tried in the constituency of Saga (five seats), which included the entire prefecture, as an independent in the national parliament, but missed the fifth highest share of the vote by just under 550 votes.

For the NFP, Haraguchi was elected for the first time in the 1996 Shūgiin election in the newly created Saga 1 constituency and then re-elected six times for the Democratic Party, in which he joined the Hata group - in 2000, 2005 and 2012 only through the Kyūshū proportional representation. In the Shūgiin he was a member of the budget committee and the special committee for the kidnapping issue. He belonged to various democratic shadow cabinets.

In September 2009, the party leader and Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama appointed him to his cabinet as Minister of General Affairs and Minister of State for the “Promotion of the Sovereignty of the Regions” ( 地域 主 権 推進 , chiiki shuken suishin ) . Under Hatoyama's successor Naoto Kan , he held this position until September 2010. After that, he was chairman of the Shūgiin Committee for General Affairs until 2012.

In the democratic defeat in the Shūgiin election in 2012 , Haraguchi lost the Saga 1 constituency by around 7,500 votes to the former prefectural member of parliament Kazuchika Iwata (LDP), but was able to win one of the three proportional representation mandates of the Democrats in the Kyūshū block with his relatively narrow constituency defeat. In 2014 he defeated Iwata by around 1,500 votes.

Haraguchi was, like Prime Minister Abe, many cabinet members and numerous LDP and DPJ MPs in both chambers of the national parliament, a member of the Nippon Kaigi , which was considered revisionist . He left this in 2015.
