香川県の片目失明の男性が、非正規雇用と再犯の悪循環を断ち勉強に励む：朝日新聞デジタル

In a surprising turn of events, the upcoming by-election in Tokyo’s 15th district has taken a unique twist due to a recent election violation scandal involving a former member of the ruling party. The by-election, scheduled for the 28th of this month, was triggered by the resignation of the former member, who left the party after being embroiled in the scandal.

The ruling party, which has traditionally relied on strong local ties to secure victories in the district, is now facing an uphill battle without their usual candidate. This absence has not only changed the dynamics of the election but also shed light on the changing landscape of the district itself.

The district, known for its mix of high-rise buildings and traditional neighborhoods, has been experiencing a shift in recent years with the rise of more condominiums and a decline in the old-town charm. The absence of the ruling party in the upcoming election has further highlighted this transformation, making the outcome of the election uncertain.

As voters prepare to cast their ballots, the by-election has become a focal point of political discussions, with opposition parties seizing the opportunity to challenge the ruling party’s stronghold in the district. The scandal and subsequent election have brought to light the evolving nature of Tokyo’s 15th district and the impact it may have on future elections in the area.
