Description |
Term end due to resignation following the prefectural assembly adopting a resolution asking Hashimoto to quit as a result of allegations over a financial transaction between his top aide and a construction business. The aide reportedly borrowed 100 million yen from the chairman of the company to finance Hashimoto's first gubernatorial run in 1991.
The day after announcing his resignation, Hashimoto announced he would run in the special election to take place the following month. He won that election and is now serving out the remainder of this term.
