Hyogo Governor Saito Motohiko was re-elected with an overwhelming lead over other candidates. He will begin his new four-year term, but he has a mountain of issues to deal with the prefectural assembly and officials who have passed a vote of no confidence. From today, his title will be "Governor" again. The second term of the "Saito prefectural administration" will begin. (Governor Saito) "(Q. It's been a while since you last came to the prefectural office, right?) I feel a sense of responsibility." "(Q. Are you not nervous?) Yes, I feel a sense of responsibility." He was re-elected about a month and a half after losing his job. Various thoughts of the prefecture's residents are mixed together. (Announcer Nakamura Soto) "There are also people behind him who oppose Governor Saito. He bowed deeply to his supporters." After that, the inauguration ceremony was held. Although it was originally intended for prefectural officials, there were also supporters here. According to the prefectural public relations department, they cannot remember prefectural residents participating in an inauguration ceremony, so it is unusual. However, what is important is not popularity, but how to rebuild the prefectural government, which has been thrown into chaos by the document issue. These four years will test Governor Saito's ability more than ever before. (Governor Saito) "The most important thing is communication through dialogue with the staff and the prefectural assembly. This will move the prefectural government forward. It is important to work as one team through work. As a prerequisite, I would like to work hard with the staff and everyone, with a strong sense of gratitude and humility." (Announcer Nakamura) "(Q. The prefectural assembly is continuing its investigation by the Article 100 Committee. What about moving forward with prefectural government again while harboring suspicions?) I received support and public opinion from many people in this election, so based on that, I will once again be grateful and humble and carefully manage the prefectural government." Meanwhile, the prefectural assembly unanimously voted no to Governor Saito two months ago. How will they deal with Governor Saito, who has once again received the trust of the people of the prefecture? (LDP Hyogo Prefectural Assembly Group Secretary-General Kitano Minoru) "It is the result of an election, so we will take it seriously and do our best as an assembly." (Hyogo Prefectural Citizens' Alliance Secretary-General Ueno Eiichi) "This should never have happened. (Governor Saito) said he would be more polite with the assembly in the future and rebuild the relationship of trust with staff, but I wonder if that is possible. Will prefectural administration stagnate?" "(Q: Is it difficult for someone who said no to get along with Governor Saito?) Mr. Saito and we will take things on a case-by-case basis, so we will be clear about that." (Komeito Hyogo Prefectural Assembly Group Secretary-General Koshida Hiroya) "It was not originally a policy-based vote of no confidence, so he said he will reflect on points that need to be reflected on, so we will be watching to see how he changes." (Japan Innovation Party Hyogo Prefectural Assembly Group Leader Kishiguchi Minoru) "(In the future) if any illegality is confirmed, I think we will respond at that time. As long as that does not happen, we will respond while taking into account the most recent election." It is not just the prefectural assembly that will be asked to deal with Governor Saito. During the election period, 22 mayors expressed their support for Mr. Inamura and criticized him as "unqualified to be governor." One of them, Mr. Sakai, who serves as the chairman of the Hyogo Prefecture Mayors Association, said, "Considering the future, I thought that a new prefectural administration by new people would be more desirable, and I have not "denied" Mr. Saito. I would like to work together with the governor and each mayor while discussing their positions." (Governor Saito) "(Q. There are concerns about the relationship with the prefectural assembly and mayors. Will stable prefectural administration be achieved?) The motion of no confidence was passed in the September assembly, but behind the scenes, the supplementary budget bill was passed. I think everyone has the feeling that the prefecture and cities and towns will work together closely after the election is over. We already share the issues and realities of each region, so we will work together and work together." There were two major points in this election campaign. The first is SNS. It spread naturally and rapidly. The second was the expectations from the younger generation regarding his policies. ABC TV's exit poll also showed a tendency that the younger the generation, the more supportive Governor Saito was. Governor Saito said, "Various people organized and spread my policies on social media." In fact, Governor Saito's X's followers were about 40,000 in early September, but now they are nearly six times as many, exceeding 230,000. It was also a hot topic that NHK Party leader Takashi Tachibana ran not to win himself, but to help Saito win. In an unusual election campaign, he used YouTube to post more than 100 videos related to the gubernatorial election. The total number of views was a whopping 15 million. Meanwhile, the account of X, a political group supporting Governor Saito's rival, Inamura, was frozen twice during the election period, at a critical time towards the end. According to the political group that supports him, there was no violation of the rules, and it is assumed that false reports were made in an organized manner. Hyogo Prefectural Assembly member Takeuchi of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's Hyogo Prefectural Citizens Alliance has decided to resign from his position. The reason for this seems to be slander. According to Secretary-General Ueno, "His family was in a state of confusion due to the verbal abuse on the Internet, and they asked him to step down from the path of politics."
