DescriptionUpon a retirement announcement from Nakayama, the local LDP establishment began to support former upper house member Uesugi for the party's nomination, but as the retirement announcement was later withdrawn the party was unable to formally endorse a candidate for the seat. Both Nakayama and Uesugi are seeking the seat as Independents, potentially tipping the seat to Democrat Hidesaburo Kawamura.
