The capital s election, in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, will have little impact on the long-planned Games, but is important as a bellwether for a lower house election that needs to be held by October.

He goes to the polls in Tokyo in the shadow of the pandemic while the Olympics are held by Reuters By Kiyoshi Takenaka TOKYO (Reuters) -Tokyo residents went to the polls on Sunday, 19 days before the start of the Olympics, to elect members of the metropolitan committee, as polls showed Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is likely to win the vote. The elections in the capital, in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, will have little effect on the long-planned Games, but it is important for the lower house elections to be held in October. Suga’s term as president of the party will expire at the end of September and his party’s strong polls in the Tokyo poll could help him get another term, analysts say. The head of the LDP is almost certain to be prime minister, given the party’s large majority in parliament.
