In the House of Representatives election on the 27th, Liberal Democratic Party newcomer Yusei Ozora (25) from the 15th ward in Tokyo was defeated in a one-seat constituency. Although he emphasized on reforming the party and having the youngest candidate, he was unable to win a close race. However, early on the 28th, he won a proportional Tokyo bloc victory.
Mr. Ozora arrived at the office around 12:30 am on the 28th with a stiff expression on his face after his victory in the one seat constituency. After receiving applause from supporters, he said, “It was all my lack of ability. I want to take the results seriously and reflect on the areas I didn’t have to.” In an interview with reporters, he said, “I felt there was a backlash against the Liberal Democratic Party, but this result is completely my responsibility.”
Mr. Ozora, known as debates among Generation Z, appealed for the promotion of these measures based on his track record of launching NPO “Anata Ibasho” when he was a student, which provides free chat consultations on topics such as loneliness. and suicide prevention. He has emphasized that “politicians’ biggest responsibility is the politics that save lives.”
Although they were popular, Shinjiro Koizumi, chairman of the party’s election committee, campaigned there three times, making it a priority district and receiving generous support from the party. (Wataru Sato, Masanori Inoue)
