The 2020 Tokyo gubernatorial election took place on 5 July 2020 to elect the Governor of Tokyo. In a result viewed as an endorsement of her handling of Tokyo's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, incumbent Yuriko Koike was re-elected for a second term in a landslide, increasing her share of the vote to 59.7%. A total of 22 candidates registered candidacies for the election. Incumbent Governor Yuriko Koike announced her campaign for re-election on 12 June 2020. Similar to her first campaign for Governor, Koike ran as an independent and did not receive the endorsement of any party, aside from the support of the regional Tomin First party which she founded in 2017. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party considered endorsing Koike in the 2020 election, unlike in the 2016 gubernatorial election in which the party endorsed a separate candidate, however the party ultimately chose not to endorse any candidate, instead encouraging members to vote freely. Koike was widely expected to win a second term, based on opinion polling conducted in the weeks prior the election. More information...
