Hideaki Omura Presenting the signature of Aichi Governor Katsuya Takasu’s dismissal request Director ㊨ = November 2020, Nagoya City Chikusa District Office
Regarding the impeachment campaign (impeachment request) of Aichi prefecture Governor Hideaki Omura, the city reported that more than 80% of the signatures of some 160,000 people submitted to the Nagoya City Election Commission were suspected of be fraudulent. It was revealed in 29 that the election was completed. The Aichi Prefectural Election Commission has decided to make adjustments to the criminal charges on suspicion of violating the Local Self-Government Law, saying that most of the signatures sent to the 64 prefectural jurisdictions are suspected of being fraudulent. An interested person revealed.
It was judged a serious problem that would shake direct democracy, in which the heads of local governments could be removed at the will of the neighbors. A selection committee will be held at the beginning of the week to discuss the timing of the accusations.
According to those concerned, of the signatures out of a total of about 160,000 signatures sent to each district election in Nagoya City, some 110,000 signatures are believed to have been written by the same person and signatures not on the electoral list. 83% of the total were deemed invalid, including tens of thousands. In some districts, invalid signatures exceeded 90%.
The withdrawal movement is led by Katsuya Takasu, director of the cosmetic surgery “Takasu Clinic”. Nagoya City Mayor Takashi Kawamura supported him. In November last year, Takasu and others submitted signatures for a total of about 435,000 people in each jurisdiction. It did not reach the legal limit of around 866,000, which is necessary to hold a referendum to ask the pros and cons of impeachment. (Joint)
