KANAZAWA, Ishikawa (Jiji Press) — Shuji Miyamoto of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is certain to win Sunday’s by-election for the House of Councillors in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The upper house by-election, the first parliamentary poll since last autumn, took place in the run-up to this summer’s upper house race.
The by-election was held after the LDP’s incumbent resigned to run in a gubernatorial election in the prefecture in March.
