Tomin First no Kai (Tokyoites First) and the Liberal Democratic Party are expected to go head-to-head to secure the most seats in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election on July 4.
In the previous poll in 2017, the LDP suffered a historic rout as Tomin First, a regional party launched by Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike, captured the most seats in the capital s assembly.
The focal point of the upcoming poll, closely watched as a prelude to a national election, is whether Tomin First will remain the leading force or the LDP will reclaim the title.

A total of 848 people are preparing to run in the next general election, for seats in the House of Representatives, which must be held by autumn, a Jiji Press survey showed Thursday.
They will vie for 289 seats in single-seat constituencies and 176 proportional representation seats in the lower chamber of the Diet.
Observers are leaning toward the view that Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will dissolve the chamber for a snap election after the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games end in September. The election has to take place before Lower House members reach the end of their term, which is Oct. 21.
