Ren Fang, a Chinese-American congresswoman of the Democratic Progressive Party of Japan, may be the candidate for the next tokyo governorship

According to a report by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on June 15, the current governor of Tokyo has resigned, and Japan's ruling and opposition parties are stepping up the selection of candidates for the next tokyo governor. For the Democratic Progressive Party of Japan, acting party leader Lian Fang was included in the list of candidates. Her father, a native of Taiwan, was elected to the Senate with the highest number of votes in the Tokyo constituency in the 2010 Senate election, and is scheduled to run for the Tokyo Constituency in the Senate election announced on June 22. Democratic Progressive Party leader Katsuya Okada said on the 15th that "a candidate who can make the administration of Tokyo look new" is needed.

In the case of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, former Japanese environmental minister Yuriko Koike and others are considered interested in running for office, but in the Tokyo governor election, candidates such as Naoki Inose and other candidates who were selected have stepped down one after another, so they will consider it carefully this time.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told the media on the 15th in Miyazaki Prefecture's metropolitan city on the next governor of Tokyo, "It is currently in the stage of a blank piece of paper. It is expected that the tokyo metropolitan government will elect the people expected by the public under the leadership of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly." Nobuaki Ishihara, who is president of the Federation of Liberal Democratic Party Branches of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, said that he "hopes to elect a governor who is competent for the Tokyo Olympics."
