OVERVIEW実施概要

Date & Time: Tuesday, July 5, 2022

Outlook for the 26th House of Councillors Election and the Future of Japanese Domestic Politics (Dr. Yu UCHIYAMA, Professor, University of Tokyo Graduate School of Arts and Sciences)

The 26th Upper House election will be held on July 10, with the campaign period beginning on June 22. For Prime Minister Kishida, this will be the first time his administration faces a vote judging its results. If the ruling party retains a majority in the House of Councillors, it will be more than three years until the next national election, unless the prime minister dissolves the House of Representatives himself.

The FPCJ has invited Dr. Yu Uchiyama of Tokyo University, five days prior to the election, to talk about the outlook for the Upper House election and the future of Japanese domestic politics.

■This briefing will be held as a hybrid briefing, with the option to participate in person at the FPCJ (members of the foreign press only) in addition to the online livestream.

■Date: July 5 (Tue), 2022, 14:00-15:30 (Deadline for application: Noon, July 4)
■Theme: Outlook for the 26th House of Councillors Election and the Future of Japanese Domestic Politics
■Briefer: Dr. Yu UCHIYAMA, Professor, University of Tokyo Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
■Language: Japanese, with consecutive English interpretation

As in our standard press briefings, there will be a Q&A session at the end.

■Members of the Foreign Press:

Please send any questions for the briefer or topics you are interested in to cp@fpcjpn.or.jp by 12:00 noon on July 4. As there will only be a limited amount of time to ask questions during the briefing, we will collect questions and provide them to the briefer in advance.
