@murodegrizeco Motohiko Saito won by 1,113,911 votes to Kazumi Inamura's 976,637 & former Japan Innovation Party Takayuki Shimizu's 258,388 votes with 55.65% voter turnout; so splitting of opposing votes let Saito win.

Legacy media expected Saito to lose, but Saito's camp posted content on social media that more than doubled Saito's followers on X to 190,000 & Saito seems to have surged past Inamura in last week of the campaign.
