A record number of 56 candidates have registered for the Tokyo Governor election, surpassing the previous 22, with incumbent Yuriko Koike seeking a third term and Taiwanese senator Renho seen as her strongest competitor. The election, scheduled for July 7, could potentially lead to a change in political power if Renho wins. With Tokyo being a crucial political and economic hub in Japan, the election has drawn significant attention for its implications on national policies and the challenges facing the city, such as declining birth rates and high living costs.
