Today is the gubernatorial election in Kagawa. Four candidates, four "independents." The current governor is backed by... every party from the LDP to the CDP (and everyone in between). He'll probably be reelected with 75% of the vote (and a participation of 20% like last time). One is backed by the CPJ (he's been a candidate for another election before).
Two are truly (?) independent. Now, the trick is to figure out what are they ideologies. One has a strange background. ⤵️
