The deadline for candidate registration in the Tokyo governor election today resulted in 56 candidates registering, setting a new record high and significantly surpassing the 22 candidates in 2020. However, the election bulletin board initially allowed only 48 slots for candidate posters, leading to discontent when the number exceeded 48. The surge in candidates is attributed to a political group nominating 24 candidates to occupy the bulletin board.
