The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election with a surprising result.
This time, starting from “Koike Girls”,
it became a Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election which the breakthrough of the female candidates drew our attention.
Among the 65 candidacy, 36 were elected which was the most in history.
During the previous election four years ago, there were 25 female elected as assembly members
at once 11 more female were elected this time.
Because the members of the Metropolitan Assembly are fixed to be 127
Female accounted for around 28% of the assembly members.
And then, the voting rate this time was 51.28%
which was 7.78 points higher than previous election.
However, compared with past, it is the fifth lowest rate after war
there is a tendency of the decline of the voting rate.
On the other hand, when we look at the “number” of people who vote this time…
Compared with previous election there were 1,075,265 more people who voted.
Starting from 2016 there was “Suffrage of 18 and 19-year-old”
that the voters of 10s increased by around 220,000 also cast an influence,
the national administration with erupting problems and
it is the first metropolitan assembly election of the Koike metropolitan government, with these reasons
it gains more attention than the previous election.
Besides this time, during the exit survey conducted by NTV and Yomiuri News
during the voting “issue of particular concern” was asked.
From all the respondents “business・market” “medical welfare”
“Measures against declining birthrate・support on bringing up children”
“Response towards Tokyo Olympics・Paralympics”
while there was such order,
From the voters of 20s the order was “business・market” followed by “measures against declining birthrate”,
“Olympics・Paralympics”
the fourth order was “education・measures towards adolescents”.
While, for the voters of 30s the top order was “measures against declining birthrate”.
Followed by “Business・market” “Olympics・Paralympics”
“medical welfare”
it is known that various generations voted with high concern about issues directly related to their lives.
And then, at Chiyoda ward which became a symbolic constituency this time
the question “what party’s candidate did you vote?” was asked to the voters.
Among people who originally support Liberal Democratic Party
this time only approximately half of them voted for “LDP”,
the remaining approximately 43% voted for “Tokyo Citizens First Party”.
It is known that votes are losing from supports of Liberal Democratic Party.
On the other hand, among independent voters.
As much as 57% of them voted for “Tokyo Citizens First Party”.
22% voted for Liberal Democratic Party.
As an outlet of discontent towards the administration,
the independent voters chose Tokyo Citizens First,
it is seen that this led to its great leap.
