Conservative Gov. Koike Yuriko of Tokyo, Japan, won a third term in office on Sunday in a high-turnout election where her top rival was expected to be the candidate backed by the Japanese Communist Party — but instead came in third to a YouTube celebrity politician who moved to Tokyo a week before campaigning began.
Tokyo residents complained that the race was “distasteful” this year, lamenting that it had attracted confused attention from foreigners. On Sunday, however, Renho came in third place. Ishimaru Shinji, the former mayor of the small town of Akitakata in Hiroshima prefecture, took second place. Ishimaru, Koike won the election with 43 percent of the vote, far above second-place finisher Ishimaru, who obtained 24.3 percent of the vote. Renho came in third with 18.8 percent.
“There are concerns within the LDP that Koike’s victory was the result of the party’s efforts to avoid having her being tarred by the party’s brush, and that the party tough situation has not changed,”The LDP has for years benefitted from Japan not being home to an efficient left-wing political party or a coherent political left more generally.
