Incumbent Yuriko Koike won a third term as governor of the nation\u2019s capital, with Tokyoites choosing to keep her in office for another four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a surprising turn of events, dark horse Shinji Ishimaru, the former mayor of the city of Akitakata in Hiroshima Prefecture, placed second, a position that was long thought to be guaranteed for high-profile liberal politician Renho, who placed third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks to your strong support, I have been entrusted with the leadership of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for a third term,\u201d Koike said at her office on July 7. \u201cI am deeply grateful to all of you who supported my election campaign in this hot weather \u2026 (and) to all those involved in the campaign for your passionate support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koike earned nearly 3 million votes, amounting to 42.8% of overall turnout. That\u2019s 19.1 percentage points more than Ishimaru, who picked up 1.65 million votes. Renho was dealt a major loss, receiving only 18.8% of the votes, with a little less than 1.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voter turnout was 60.62%, up from 55% in the 2020 poll. The election saw the highest level of early voting in the city\u2019s history, with around 19% of overall constituents having cast their ballots as of July 6.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
