In the Aichi 14th district House of Representatives election, incumbent Liberal Democratic Party candidate Soichiro Imaeda (41) has been elected for the sixth time.

In last autumn’s LDP presidential election, he supported the emergence of Prime Minister Takachi as a “recommender.”

In the Takachi cabinet, he served as a Vice-Minister for Digital, among other roles, and ran a stable campaign advocating for free education and regional revitalization in Mikawa.

Incumbent candidate Rie Ohtake (48) of the Centrist Reform Coalition did not win in the single-seat constituency.

Aichi 14th district

The Aichi 14th district is a single-member electoral constituency for Japan’s House of Representatives, established in 1994 as part of a political reform. It is located in the northern part of Aichi Prefecture, primarily encompassing the city of Toyota, which is historically significant as the headquarters of the Toyota Motor Corporation and a major center of Japan’s automotive industry.

House of Representatives

The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, established by the Constitution in 1789. It is composed of representatives elected from congressional districts based on state population, with its primary powers including initiating revenue bills and impeaching federal officials.

Liberal Democratic Party

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is Japan’s dominant political party, founded in 1955 through the merger of conservative forces. It has held power almost continuously since its inception, playing a central role in Japan’s post-war economic growth and modern governance.

Takachi cabinet

The “Takachi cabinet” does not refer to a known historical place, cultural site, or a specific cabinet in Japanese political history. It is possible the term is a misspelling or a reference to a local business or lesser-known entity. Without more specific context, a historical summary cannot be provided.

Mikawa

Mikawa is a historical region located in eastern Aichi Prefecture, Japan, which was once a powerful feudal domain during the Edo period. It is most famously known as the birthplace of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate that ruled Japan for over 250 years. Today, the area preserves this legacy through sites like Okazaki Castle and various temples associated with the Tokugawa clan.

Centrist Reform Coalition

The Centrist Reform Coalition is not a physical place or cultural site, but a political alliance in the Czech politics, primarily active in the early 2000s. It was formed in 2001 by several center-right parties, most notably the Freedom Union, with the goal of creating a unified bloc to challenge the dominant Civic Democratic Party. The coalition ultimately dissolved after failing to meet electoral expectations in the 2002 legislative election.
