Yokohama mayoral race spotlights casino dispute
Original: 横浜 市長 選
Yokohama is holding a mayoral election in which a casino resort has emerged as a central campaign issue, despite all candidates voicing opposition to the project. Asahi Shimbun reports that the incumbent deliberately pushed the casino question into the race, prompting debate over why the issue is being contested when no candidate supports it. Voters in Kanagawa Prefecture are following the unusual framing of the contest.
Why now: The Yokohama mayoral election is underway and the casino issue is an unexpected focal point of the campaign.
