[Otsuka Kohei (65) speech on defeat] I was able to fight this mayoral election thanks to the support of so many people. This result was due to my own lack of ability and lack of virtue. First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize. The election was a very tough one, but I fought the election while feeling the feelings of all of you who supported me during this time for Nagoya and your feelings for this election. I also thought about the future of Nagoya and made a desperate appeal, but I would like to apologize again for my lack of ability and for the fact that such a judgment was made. In the future, I would like to pray for the development of Nagoya and make further efforts. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you again and take this as a greeting. Thank you. Q. I was recommended by four political parties, including the Liberal Democratic Party and the Constitutional Democratic Party, but I fell short. How do you feel about this result now? I take it as a very tough result. I think I need to analyze the reasons for this a little more, but in any case, the main reason is my own lack of ability, so I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support. Q. How do you view the citizens' choice to continue the Kawamura administration? This is the citizens' decision, so I would like to take it seriously. Q. What specific voices did you hear from voters during the election campaign? Of course, there were voices that wanted the city administration to continue, and also voices that wanted the city administration to be changed. In addition to that, there were various individual and specific voices, but since there are so many different opinions, I cannot say it in a word. Q. At this point, what are your thoughts about Mr. Otsuka's future political activities? It's completely blank right now. First of all, I think it will take a considerable amount of time from tomorrow to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped me, so that is what I am thinking about for now.
