Teruhiko Mashiko ( Japanese 増 子 輝 彦 Mashiko Teruhiko ; born October 8, 1947 in Kōriyama , Fukushima Prefecture , Japan ) is a Japanese politician of the People's Democratic Party (Kokumin Minshutō) and a member of the Sangiin , the upper house, for Fukushima Prefecture.

Life

Mashiko, a graduate of Waseda University , was elected to the Fukushima Prefectural Parliament for Kōriyma in 1983. There he belonged to the faction of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). For the first time in 1986 he ran for the Shūgiin , the national lower house. In the second attempt in 1990 he won a mandate as an independent in the 1st constituency of Fukushima (4 seats) with the highest percentage of votes. After his re-election in 1993 - as an LDP candidate now with the third highest share of the vote - he left the party again in 1994 and joined the Shinto Mirai ("New Party Future"), which later became part of the Shinshinto . Under the new electoral law, Mashiko was voted out of office in 1996 and joined the Democratic Party in 1998 . From 2003 to 2005 he belonged to the Shūgiin for a third time via the proportional representation block.

In the by-election in Fukushima in April 2007 for the Sangiin seat of Yūhei Satō (DPJ), who had resigned for the gubernatorial election, Mashiko (with the support of SDP and New People's Party ) was able to hold the seat for the Democratic Party. In 2010 and 2016 , when the prefecture became a single-mandate constituency, he was re-elected for the new Minshintō. In Sangiin he was, among other things, chairman of the Special Committee for Reconstruction after the Tōhoku Earthquake in 2011 (2011–2012), the Committee on Economy, Trade and Industry (2012–2013) and the MLIT Committee (2016–2017). In November 2017 he replaced Atsushi Ōshima as general secretary of the Minshintō.

When the Minshintō merged with the Party of Hope to form the People's Democratic Party in May 2018 , Mashiko was appointed Deputy Secretary General of the party.
