The Sagamihara City Election Management Committee had not completed the procedures for early election due to the death of a city council member last month. It was decided that Chizuko Matsuura, who had lost the election four years earlier, won the election early.
He will serve as a member of the council for a second term from the 30th of this month. After the election meeting, the chairman of the election committee handed him a certificate of victory from four years ago. He said, "I have mixed feelings, but now that I have received my certificate, I want to work with self-awareness"
