Hideaki Ōmura
Hideaki Ōmura ( Japanese. 大村 秀 章 , Ōmura Hideaki ; born March 9, 1960 in Hekinan , Aichi Prefecture ) is a non-party Japanese politician, governor of Aichi and former member of the Shūgiin , the lower house of the national parliament, for the Tōkai proportional representation . Until 2010 he was a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), including the Nukaga faction .
Ōmura studied law at the University of Tokyo and after graduating in 1982 became a civil servant at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries . In 1995 he switched to politics and took over the chairmanship of the LDP office for the 13th constituency of Aichi, which he lost to Satoshi Shima in the 1996 Shūgiin election , but was elected via the Tōkai proportional representation. He was able to win the constituency in the three following elections (in 2000 by less than 400 votes), in 2009 he was defeated by the Democrat Kensuke Ōnishi , but was again confirmed as a member of the bloc and was then the only LDP member from Aichi.
In 2001, after taking office in the first Koizumi cabinet, he became parliamentary state secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs , and a year later he became vice minister in the cabinet office , a position that he received again in the Abe cabinet in 2006 when he replaced Yoshimi Watanabe , who was appointed minister of state . From 2009 to 2010 he was Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs . In the LDP, he was, among other things, deputy chairman of the committee for parliamentary affairs (2008, 2010) and chairman of the Aichi prefecture association.
In December 2010 he left the LDP and resigned his parliamentary mandate in January 2011 in order to run as an independent candidate for the gubernatorial election in Aichi in February 2011 to succeed Masaaki Kanda . In the election campaign, Ōmura campaigned in particular for a reduction in the prefectural “citizen tax” ( kenmin-zei ) by ten percent. He won the election on February 6, 2011 with the support of the Kōmeitō and the regional party Genzei Nippon by Takashi Kawamura , who won the mayoral election in Nagoya on the same day and achieved the dissolution of the city council in the recall referendum, against two candidates who both major parties LDP and DPJ were supported, and two other applicants.
For the gubernatorial election, Ōmura had founded his own party, the Nihon-ichi Aichi no Kai ( 日本 一 愛 知 の 会 , ATJ), which supported him in the gubernatorial election and cooperated with Genzei Nippon in the parliamentary election in Aichi in April 2011, won five seats and then formed a joint parliamentary group with the Genzei Nippon. In the summer of 2012, Ōmura founded the Chūkyō Ishin no Kai ( 中 京 維新 の 会 ), with which he originally wanted to advance into national politics through nominations for the next Shūgiin election due before autumn 2013 .
In 2015 , Ōmura was re-elected for a second term of office against only one, communist opposing candidate with a four-fifths majority.
