Campaigning begins for Fukushima mayoral race
FUKUSHIMA, Japan, Nov. 10, Kyodo
Official campaigning began Sunday for the Fukushima mayoral election, with the incumbent and two challengers filing candidacy papers.
Among the biggest issues in the Nov. 17 election are how to protect the health of citizens and decontaminate areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis as well as efforts to speed up recovery after the deadly earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
Incumbent Mayor Takanori Seto, 66, seeking a fourth four-year term, will face independent challenger Kaoru Kobayashi, 54, and Yutaka Yamada, a 58-year-old backed by the Japanese Communist Party.
