1986年の市長選で初当選。3期目途中の96年、米軍普天間飛行場(宜野湾市)返還に伴い、名護市内のキャンプ・シュワブ沖が海上ヘリポートの移設候補地に挙がったことを受け、反対派の声を抑えて調査の受け入れを表明した。
海上ヘリポートの建設を巡っては97年12月に名護市で住民投票が行われ、反対票が過半数を占める結果が出たが、3日後に首相官邸を訪問。投票結果に反して建設を受け入れる方針を橋本龍太郎首相(当時)に伝えた後、報道陣に「市の最高責任者として受け入れ、政治生命を終わらせる」と述べ、移設の道を開いた上で辞任した。

Israeli President Herzog announced on the 7th that he will direct former military chief of staff Eisenkot, leader of the centrist opposition party Yashar, to form a new government. In the October 27 general election, Netanyahu's ruling party won only 53 seats, and Eisenkot received 67 nominations. The government is required to form a government within 28 days.

A bill related to food consumption tax reduction will be debated in the House of Councilors on the 11th. Since the ruling party is small, cooperation from opposition parties is essential, and it has set its sights on the Democratic Party of the People and New Komeito. All opposition parties opposed the bill in the House of Representatives, but both parties left open the possibility of approval in the House of Councilors.

The Israeli president announced that he would instruct opposition leader Eisenkot to form a government.

Celebrating 80 years since the promulgation of the Japanese Constitution, a proposed amendment to explicitly enshrine the Self-Defense Forces in the Constitution is becoming more realistic. Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Koji Yamazaki calls for a constitutional amendment to clarify the position of the Self-Defense Forces and improve morale, while Kyoji Yanagisawa, a former deputy chief cabinet secretary, denies the need for the amendment to be clearly stated, saying it is an "issue that has already been settled." The ruling party will intensify discussions on constitutional revision with the aim of next spring, but there is strong resistance from cautious groups, and the 2028 Upper House election may become a turning point.

Israeli President Herzog has announced that he will direct Eisenkot, leader of the centrist opposition party Yashar and former military chief of staff, to form a new government. Netanyahu's ruling party will fall short of a majority in the October 27 general election, and coalition negotiations are expected to begin in earnest with the mandate to form a government to Eisenkot.

Votes were counted in New Zealand's general election on the 7th, and the three ruling coalition parties led by Prime Minister Lacson's center-right National Party are in the lead, but it is uncertain whether they will win a majority. It is a close race with opposition parties including the center-left Labor Party, and the results are expected to be finalized by the end of this month. The emerging centrist Opportunity Party has secured its first parliamentary seat and may hold the casting boat for coalition negotiations.
