Tokyo 7th district
Suginami |
|---|
Tokyo 7th district is a constituency of the
Suginami
.
Deputy leader of the
Health Minister Akira Nagatsuma
is the current representative of the district.
Background
The district is considered a stronghold for former
Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) into power. Despite facing strong headwinds in the 2012 and 2014 LDP landslide
, he managed to hold on to his seat. He was the only opposition lawmaker winning a single-seat constituency in Tokyo in the 2014 election.
Nagatsuma retained his seat in the 2017 election that was preceded by a split in the Democratic Party (DP). Nagatsuma along with liberal-leaning members of the DP like Yukio Edano and Hirotaka Akamatsu founded the CDP. He was challenged in the election by his regular LDP rival Fumiaki Matsumoto. The party housing conservative former DP members, Kibō no Tō also fielded a candidate. Akihiro Araki, the husband of Tomin First no Kai leader Chiharu Araki, was chosen to contest the seat for Kibō. Nagatsuma comfortably won his seat and increased his majority amidst a CDP surge that also resulted in gains by the party across Tokyo.[2]
