沖縄県知事選は13日、投開票され、新人で前那覇市副市長の古謝玄太氏(42)=自民、維新、国民民主、参政、保守、公明県本部推薦=が、現職の玉城デニー知事(66)らを大差で破り、初当選した。保守勢力が支援し、米軍普天間飛行場(宜野湾市)の名護市辺野古移設を容認する古謝氏が勝利したことで、県政は移設反対から12年ぶりに転換する。

沖縄知事、古謝氏が当選 辺野古容認、12年ぶり自民奪還

古謝氏は14日朝、那覇市で記者団に対し、過去最多となる42万票余りを得たことに触れ「責任の重さを感じる」と語った。古謝氏は那覇市出身の元総務官僚。沖縄の本土復帰(1972年)以降に生まれた知事の誕生は初で、同県の公選知事としては史上最年少。新知事の任期は今月30日から4年間。

高市早苗首相(自民党総裁)は14日、首相官邸で記者団に「経済成長を求める県民の意思が反映された。新知事と連携して力を尽くす」と歓迎した。政府は「民意」を踏まえ、辺野古移設を進める。木原稔官房長官は記者会見で、普天間問題について、辺野古移設が「唯一の解決策」との考えを改めて強調したが、古謝氏が求める普天間返還時期の明確化には明言を避けた。

玉城氏は13日夜、那覇市で支援者に「辺野古は造れない。(移設反対と)県民を代表して主張したことは間違っていない」と述べた。玉城氏は立憲民主、共産、社民各党などの支援を受けた。

県選挙管理委員会によると、確定投票率は61.57%で、2022年の前回を3.65ポイント上回った。

辺野古移設の既成事実化に伴い、選挙戦の争点は県内経済の振興策が中心になった。古謝氏は政府・与党とのパイプをアピール。玉城氏は好調な観光業など2期8年の実績を訴えたが及ばなかった。

知事選は玉城氏の任期満了に伴って行われた。古謝、玉城両氏のほか新人4人が出馬した。
