In Okinawa, Nago mayor defeats anti-U.S. base transfer rival
Summary by Ground News
Incumbent Taketoyo Toguchi won a second term as Nago mayor in the southern prefecture of Okinawa on Sunday. The victory is a relief for Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who is pushing for the controversial relocation of a U.S. military base to the city's coastal area. The relocation has met stiff opposition even as the Japanese government has already begun land reclamation.
