米軍普天間飛行場(沖縄県宜野湾市)の名護市辺野古移設や県内経済の振興が主な争点になった同県知事選は13日、投開票される。自民党など保守勢力が推す新人で前那覇市副市長の古謝玄太氏(42)、革新系中心の「オール沖縄」に支えられ3選を目指す玉城デニー知事(66)による事実上の一騎打ち。結果は高市早苗首相(自民総裁)の今後の政権運営にも影響しそうだ。

沖縄知事選、希薄化する対立軸 我部琉球大名誉教授に聞く

選挙戦最終日の12日、古謝、玉城両氏は那覇市で支持を訴えた。古謝氏は自民の西村康稔選対委員長や日本維新の会の吉村洋文代表、国民民主党の榛葉賀津也幹事長と並び、「分断を乗り越えて沖縄を前に進めていく」と主張。玉城氏は「沖縄のことは沖縄人が決める。玉城の3期目に皆さんの力を」と呼び掛けた。

選挙は玉城氏の任期満了に伴う。自民は12年ぶりの県政奪還を狙い、オール沖縄は2014年以来の4連勝を目指す。

従来、沖縄知事選の最大の争点は普天間移設だった。しかし、辺野古沖の工事が進み、県と国の法廷闘争でことごとく県側の敗訴が確定した結果、県民の関心は薄れたとみられている。

こうした傾向を踏まえ、移設容認派の古謝氏は経済振興策や政府・与党とのパイプを強調。過去2回の知事選で移設反対を全面に掲げた玉城氏も、観光産業の好調さといった実績を中心に訴えた。

古謝氏は自民と維新、国民民主、参政、日本保守各党と公明党県本部の推薦を得た。玉城氏は立憲民主、共産、社民各党などが支援する。

沖縄県選挙管理委員会によると、11日までに有権者の約23%に当たる27万3584人が期日前投票を済ませた。前回知事選と同程度。

知事選には会社社長の兼島俊氏(48)、医療法人会長の末吉正弘氏(73)、会社代表の比嘉隆氏(49)、政治団体代表の屋良朝助氏(74)の新人4人も出馬している。

Centrist Reform Coalition decides to disband, leaving only one member remaining due to receipt of approximately 1.1 billion yen in political party subsidies, sparking criticism

Although the Centrist Reform Alliance decided to disband the party, it has indicated that it will continue to exist for the time being, leaving one lawmaker in place in order to receive approximately 1.1 billion yen in party subsidies. Representative Junya Ogawa explains that the purpose of the move is to pay for the House of Representatives election, but there are voices on social media pointing out the contradiction with the Liberal Democratic Party's criticism of slush funds, making it unclear whether they will gain understanding amid soaring prices. The Constitutional Democratic Party-affiliated party was to form a new party, and the Komeito-affiliated party was to rejoin the party, but because they are considered a "split faction" under the Political Party Subsidy Act and cannot receive unfunded funds, they have decided to postpone ``splitting (splitting),'' which would take a long time to complete.

Vice President Vance vows victory in midterm elections at Republican convention; Secretary Rubio's absence is conspicuous

Vice President Vance delivered the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, pledging victory in the November midterm elections. Vance, who is considered a leading candidate for the 2028 presidential election, has an opportunity to raise his profile within the party, but there is also the risk that he will be held accountable depending on the election results. In his speech, he talked about his experiences growing up in a poor family and expressed his frustration at being called a racist. On the other hand, Secretary of State Rubio, who is expected by traditional conservatives, did not participate due to overseas travel, and his absence was conspicuous. Participants were asked both about their support for Mr. Vance and their liking for Mr. Rubio.

Government and ruling party consider special measures to reduce food consumption tax, raising concerns about confusion among businesses and consumers

The government and ruling party have announced that, in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut starting in April next year, they will create special and transitional measures for things such as changing price tags and pre-order sales at retail stores. However, with such a short preparation period, the system could become complicated, leading to confusion among business operators and consumers. Support for agriculture, forestry and fisheries workers and the restaurant industry has also been raised as an issue.

The treatment of Secretary-General Junichi Ishii is the focus of the House of Councilors Liberal Democratic Party's personnel affairs, perhaps due to his feud with the prime minister?

It is expected that personnel changes to the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Councilors will be made soon in line with the cabinet reshuffle and personnel changes to LDP executives. The focus is on the treatment of House of Councilors Secretary-General Junichi Ishii, and it is said that his feud with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is behind this. However, House of Councilors personnel affairs are considered a ``sanctuary'' beyond the prime minister's authority, and House of Councilors Chairman Seiji Matsuyama holds the actual authority over personnel affairs. Mr. Ishii is well-versed in the management of the Diet and has created the Diet calendar, known as the ``Ishii Calendar,'' but reportedly had a rift with the prime minister over budget deliberations at the special session of the Diet. Mr. Ishii revealed to those involved that he said, ``I don't care which way I go. If I am removed, I will have no role.''

Eighth Okinawa gubernatorial election since the Futenma return agreement reveals prefectural residents' distrust and fatigue over Henoko relocation

Thirty years have passed since the agreement was reached to return Futenma Air Base, and the eighth Okinawa prefecture gubernatorial election will be held. The condition of the return was that it be relocated within the prefecture, but U.S. official documents have revealed the existence of a new return condition, causing distrust and fatigue among prefectural residents. Prefectural residents continue to oppose the relocation to Henoko, making it an issue in the gubernatorial election.
