BREAKING: Incumbent Yuji Nakamura of the Liberal Democratic Party Secures Election in Hokkaido District 4, House of Representatives Election

The Hokkaido 4th district is a single-member constituency for Japan’s House of Representatives, established in 1994 as part of electoral reforms. Historically, it covers parts of central Hokkaido, including the major city of Asahikawa, and its political representation has often focused on regional agricultural and economic development issues.

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 across the country, with representation based on state population, and it holds primary responsibility for initiating revenue bills and impeaching federal officials.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is Japan’s dominant political party, founded in 1955 as a conservative coalition to stabilize politics after World War II. It has held power almost continuously since its inception, shaping Japan’s post-war economic growth and international alliances.

The Centrist Reform Coalition is not a physical place or cultural site, but a political alliance in the Czech politics, primarily active in the 1990s. It was formed in 1993 as a coalition of centrist and liberal-conservative parties, most notably the Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA), and was part of the government under Prime Minister Václav Klaus. The coalition played a key role in the country’s post-communist economic reforms and privatization before dissolving in 1998.
