Tokyo’s first female governor, Yuriko Koike, was re-elected to a third four-year term on July 7, 2024. Koike has been in office since 2016 and has long been affiliated with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Her most prominent opponent was Renho Saito, a leading female opposition lawmaker. Koike’s policies have centred on tackling Japan’s low birth rate.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Shinzo Abe, a truth Japanese 🇯🇵 and world leader. He was a fierce defender of democracy and Japan's allies including Taiwan 🇹🇼 by allowing troops to fight overseas.
- His speeches often angered the authoritarian surveillance regime amid his outspoken against the Chinese expansionism 🇨🇳.

majority of people voted koike are aging citizens, this shows that Japan government policy's best interest lies on senior citizens that is the majority, not the young generations which majority of them still ignorant towards politics and not realizing that they are the minority...
