The NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō ( Japanese NHK か ら 国民 を 守 る 党 , about "Party for the Protection of Citizens from the NHK"; NKokutō N 国 党 or NKoku N 国 for short ) is a political party in Japan . As a "one-topic party" it calls for an amendment to the "Broadcasting Act" ( 放送 法 , hōsō-hō ) to abolish the “reception fee ” ( 受 信 料 , jushinryō ) with which the public broadcaster NHK has been financed so far.
history
The NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō was founded on June 17, 2013 as NHK jushinryō fubarai tō ( NHK 受 信 料 不 払 い 党 , about "party for the non-payment of the reception fee ") by the former NHK employee Takashi Tachibana . Tachibana left the NHK in April 2005 after publicizing an internal scandal. On July 23, 2013, the party name was changed to the current name. The "political grouping" first ran for the election of the city parliament of Settsu in September of the year in which Tachibana could not move with 317 votes.
In April 2015 he had his first success and was elected to the city parliament of Funabashi . Further "NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō" candidates were elected to the respective city parliaments in December 2015 in Asaka and in April 2016 in Shiki . In 2016, Tachibana ran for the gubernatorial election in Tokyo and automatically resigned from his seat in Funabashi. With 27,241,975 votes in 8th place (21 candidates) he was clearly defeated by Yuriko Koike , but was able to increase the awareness of the NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō considerably through this election. In the following years, the party increased its number of MPs in local elections and won 26 seats in the unified regional elections in April 2019 alone .
For the 2019 upper house election, the party put up 41 candidates (4 in proportional representation, 37 in constituencies). She received 1.97% of the vote in the proportional representation and thus just won a seat that went to Tachibana. He himself was clearly elected to the top of the party list with 130,233 votes. By putting up candidates in many constituencies, the party achieved a direct election result of 3.02%, which is the first time it met the legal requirements for recognition as a political party . In order to increase the media presence of the NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō , Tachibana sought party membership of at least four non-party members. Former Nippon Ishin-no-Kai MP Hodaka Maruyama was the first non- party to join the party on July 29. Shortly thereafter, Tachibana and Yoshimi Watanabe formed the Minna no Tō ("party of all"; based on Watanabe's earlier party Minna no Tō ), Watanabe refused to join the party.
In August 2019, the journalist Takashi Uesugi was appointed Secretary General. He announced that in the next election to the House of Commons , which will take place regularly in 2021, but could be brought forward at any time, to want to put up candidates in all 289 constituencies.
