(Redirected from Kanagawa's 11th district)
The Kanagawa 11th district (神奈川１１区) is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It is located in Kanagawa Prefecture, and consists of the cities of Miura and Yokosuka. Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi served as the first representative of the constituency from 1994. Koizumi announced that he would not run in the 2009 elections.[1] His son Shinjirō ran as a candidate for his father's seat representing the Kanagawa 11th district.[2] The Democratic Party of Japan fielded Katsuhito Yokokume, a lawyer and former participant in the Ainori TV show[3], as a candidate in 2009 to a bid to end the LDP dominance of the district.[4]
