Hyogo Prefectural Gubernatorial Election: Former Governor Saito Motohiko declares victory: "The battle begins now" The votes were counted for the Hyogo Prefectural Gubernatorial Election, which saw a record number of candidates run, with former Governor Saito Motohiko declaring victory. The Hyogo Prefectural Gubernatorial Election, held following the passing of a motion of no confidence in the prefectural assembly and the loss of office of former Governor Saito Motohiko, took place on the 17th, and just after 9:30pm, former Governor Saito declared victory at his campaign office in Kobe. During the election campaign, former Governor Saito touted his achievements as governor over the past three years, and expanded his circle of support online, expanding his support towards the end of the election. Former Governor Saito Motohiko said, "I am very sorry for causing concern and anxiety to the people of Hyogo about the prefectural government due to this document issue. I received many expectations that I would make more and more reforms and move prefectural government forward, and this time the message spread in various ways through social media, and I felt the positive side of social media. The real challenge is now. I do not want to stop moving forward toward realizing a dynamic Hyogo. Thank you very much." For the time being, his challenges will be how to respond to the document issue that accuses him of power harassment, and how to deal with the prefectural assembly, which passed a unanimous vote of no confidence. ◆The latest news videos and live broadcasts are available on the YouTube NTV NEWS channel◆ / @ntv_news ◆The latest information is updated regularly.
