LDP desperate for a win in Okinawa governor race
LDP executives will visit the island prefecture one after another to rally support for Genta Koja, a 42-year-old former vice mayor of Naha.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), under the leadership of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is intensifying its efforts to secure a victory in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Okinawa Prefecture on September 13. To bolster their campaign, LDP officials are personally visiting the island prefecture to rally support for their candidate, Genta Koja, a 42-year-old former vice mayor of Naha.
Koja is set to run with the backing of the LDP and a few opposition parties, including the Democratic Party for the People. Yasutoshi Nishimura, who leads the LDP's Election Strategy Committee, emphasized the party's commitment to helping Koja fulfill his campaign promises at a rally in the city of Urasoe on Thursday.
