Tokyo voters cast ballots to decide whether to reelect conservative as city's governor

TOKYO — Voters in Tokyo cast ballots Sunday to decide whether to reelect conservative Yuriko Koike as governor of Japan's influential capital for a third four-year term. The vote was also seen as a test for Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's governing party, which supports the incumbent, the first woman to lead the Tokyo city government. Tokyo, a city of 13.5 million people with outsized political and cultural power and a budget equaling some nations, is one of Japan's most influential political posts.
