Former Gov. Motohiko Saito projected to win the gubernatorial election in Hyogo Prefecture on Sunday, according to a tally by The Yomiuri Shimbun.

The election was held after the Hyogo prefectural assembly passed a no-confidence motion against Saito over allegations of bullying his subordinates, and Saito lost his position as governor.
