Hiroshi Nakada ( Japanese 中 田 宏 , Nakada Hiroshi ; born September 20, 1964 in Yokohama ) is a Japanese politician ( New Japan Party → NFP → Mushozoku no Kai → non-party → Nippon Sōshintō → Nippon Ishin no Kai → Jisedai no Tō ), former MP in the House of Commons and Mayor of Yokohama, the prefectural capital of Kanagawa, from 2002 to 2009 .

Life

Nakada studied at Aoyama Gakuin University , where he in March 1989 graduated .

Politically, Nakada became involved in founding the Nihon Shinto in 1992 , a political party that existed until 1994. In 1993 he was first elected as a member of the Japanese House of Commons in the four-seat constituency Kanagawa 1 , and in 1996 and 2000 he was re- elected in the single- seat constituency Kanagawa 8.

Nakada, who was elected 28th Mayor of Yokohama at the age of 37 in 2002, is the youngest mayor ever elected in a major Japanese city. In 2006 he was confirmed in office. As mayor, he succeeded in consolidating the municipal budget through cuts, particularly in personnel costs.

In the summer of 2009 he resigned to turn to national politics. He then founded the Yoi kuni tsukurō! Party together with other local and prefecture politicians, including Hiroshi Yamada , Mayor of Suginami ! Nippon shimin kaigi ( よ い 国 つ く ろ う! 日本 志 民 会議 ) and in 2010 the Nippon Sōshintō , who wanted to win seats in the national parliament in the 2010 upper house election, but failed. In 2012, the party became part of the Nippon Ishin no Kai, for which Nakada ran in the 2012 general election at the proportional representation in rural Hokuriku-Shin'etsu . Alone in front of the constituency candidates on the list, he was safely elected - the party won three of the eleven seats in the bloc. When the Ishin no Kai split in the summer of 2014, Nakada joined the Jisedai no Tō of Shintarō Ishihara and Takeo Hiranuma . For this he moved in the 2014 general election to the 18th constituency of Kanagawa, which includes parts of the city ​​of Kawasaki , but was defeated by the liberal-democratic incumbent Daishirō Yamagiwa (40.0%) with 27.2% of the votes .
