Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike has laid out her platform for the upcoming Tokyo governor election in July. As part of her campaign, Koike has promised to subsidize the cost of epidurals to bolster the birth rate. She also announced a 'Three Shitis' plan, which includes building bomb shelters, replacing old wooden housing, increasing birth and childcare subsidies, and installing more surveillance cameras. Koike is running for re-election amid claims that she lied about graduating from Cairo University. She shared a video featuring old clips of her as a newscaster and speaking Arabic on Egyptian TV. Renho has also laid out her platform for the election.
Japan's wily Protect the People from the NHK Party found a clever way to profit off the Tokyo governor election. It's supporting 30 of the 53 (!) confirmed entrants for governor - and selling their spaces on Tokyo's public election boards to anyone willing to buy one. https://t.co/xc202IAzko
