The Nagoya mayoral election was held on the 24th. Candidate Ichiro Hirosawa, a former deputy mayor who was nominated by former mayor Takashi Kawamura to succeed him, was informed of his victory just after 8pm when the vote counting began. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "I received many votes, and many people supported me, donated to me, and watched many videos. I was able to win thanks to all of you. Thank you very much." When asked by a reporter about the reason for his victory, he analyzed, "I will continue Mayor Kawamura's policies and ideals. That resonated with the voters." He reflected that the "continuation and expansion of the resident tax reduction" garnered support. Former mayor Takashi Kawamura, a member of the House of Representatives, rushed to the event and congratulated him, mentioning his previous losses in national elections, saying, "Thank you very much for following me and continuing to do your best without giving up." ■Subscribe to the channel: https://yahoo.jp/zaoidV ■List of articles from THE PAGE: https://yahoo.jp/A5sxYP ■Yahoo!News Original: https://yahoo.jp/7a5omo #thepage_jp #Press conference #Nagoya mayoral election
