2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election
Election for Governor of Tokyo / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election took place on 7 July 2024 to elect the Governor of Tokyo. Incumbent Yuriko Koike was re-elected for a third term, albeit at a reduced share of the votes compared to her 2016 election and 2020 re-election.[1][2] Shinji Ishimaru, the former Mayor of Akitakata, exceeded expectations to place second behind Koike.[3] Meanwhile, lawmaker Renhō, who was endorsed by the main left-wing opposition parties and was widely considered Koike's main opponent leading up to election day, significantly underperformed her polling and placed third.[4]
