The 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election will take place on 7 July 2024 to elect the Governor of Tokyo.
Background[edit]
Incumbent Governor Yuriko Koike is running for re-election to a third term, receiving the endorsement of the Liberal Democratic Party, Komeito, Democratic Party For the People, as well as the regional party Tomin First no Kai, which Koike founded.[1]
Koike's main opponent is expected to be lawmaker Renhō, who has received the endorsement of the main left-wing opposition parties; the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Japanese Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party.[2] Shinji Ishimaru, the former Mayor of Akitakata and Toshio Tamogami, the former Chief of Staff of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force are running without the support of any major parties.[3] 56 candidates have filed to run in the election, with nearly half of them belonging to Takashi Tachibana's NHK Party,[4] the highest number of registered candidates to date.[5]
The main issues in the election include declining birth rates,[6][7] environmental laws,[8] redevelopment of the Meiji Jingu Gaien area,[9] and the use of projection mapping on the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.[10]
