The 46th election for the House of Representatives saw Takeaki Matsumoto retain the district by defeating the LDP's candidate, newcomer Nobuhide Zushi. Matsumoto was one of a minority of DPJ members to retain his seat as the party was swept from power, losing 174 of its 231 seats in a landslide victory to the LDP led by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Matsumoto was officially endorsed by the DPJ's coalition partner, the People's New Party, while Zushi was endorsed by Komeito. This election saw the rise of the Japan Restoration Party, which won 54 seats in the election. The party's candidate in Hyogo 11th, company director Sōichirō Katada, was endorsed by Your Party.^[6]
