自民党じみんとう総裁そうさい選せん 各かく陣営じんえいが「党員とういん票ひょう」獲得かくとくへ追おい込こみ図はかる

The Liberal Democratic Party presidential election is now four days away from voting and ballot counting.

Each faction plans to step up efforts to win over party member votes and intensify their approach toward lawmakers who have not yet made their stance clear.

The leaders of the five camps running in the LDP presidential election spoke to NHK on the 29th and discussed their respective strategies to expand support.

Yohei Matsumoto, a member of the House of Representatives who serves as the election campaign manager for the camp of former Economic Security Minister Kobayashi, said, The important thing is how many people we can get on our side.

I want to sincerely appeal to the public and, as a result, carry out activities that will gain the support of members of the Diet as well, he said.

Shindo, the Acting Chairman of the Policy Research Council, who serves as the secretary-general at the election campaign headquarters of former Secretary-General Motegi’s camp, said, “He is well-versed in every field, and we want to strongly appeal that Mr. Motegi is the one who can immediately get to work and deliver results as Prime Minister, and work to broaden his support.”

Tamura, the former Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, who serves as the head of the election campaign headquarters for Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashis camp, said, I feel that we are catching up quite a bit.

When thinking about the future of Japan, I appeal that choosing Yoshimasa Hayashi is a very significant decision, and I will secure as many votes as possible to make it into the top two.

Nakasone, former Minister for Foreign Affairs and the head of the election campaign headquarters for former Minister for Economic Security Takaichis camp, said, We have received a lot of voices expressing hope for the realization of the first female Prime Minister.

He said, Since he is very knowledgeable about policy, it is important to appeal to the public that he will grow the economy and enrich peoples lives.

Kato, the Minister of Finance, who serves as the head of the election campaign headquarters for Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Koizumi’s camp, said, “The number of members in the headquarters is increasing every day, and I feel that the circle of support is expanding.”

I want to stay focused and give it my all until the very last second, he said.

The party leadership election is now four days away from voting and ballot counting, and each camp is analyzing the situation daily.

If party members vote by mail, the party is urging them to mail their ballots by October 1. Each camp sees the 30th and the 1st as the crucial days for winning party member votes and is making a final push.

They also plan to step up efforts to lobby lawmakers who have not yet made their position clear as the final stage approaches.

In this case, there were concerns that the election campaigns of several camps might violate the prohibitions, so after confirming the facts, strict warnings were issued to the heads of each camp.

Regarding the leadership election, it has come to light that within Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Koizumis camp, there were requests for people to post favorable comments about Mr. Koizumi on video streaming sites. According to those involved, this matter was also subject to a strict warning.
