玉城沖縄知事が再選出馬表明　辺野古移設「断固認めぬ」

　沖縄県の玉城デニー知事は１１日、那覇市内で記者会見し、９月の知事選に再選を目指して出馬する意向を正式に表明した。最大の争点になるとみられる米軍普天間飛行場（同県宜野湾市）の名護市辺野古移設について、「機能を新たに加えて建設することは断固として認められない」と強調。従来の計画を堅持する政府・与党との対決姿勢を鮮明にした。
　玉城氏は選挙戦で、保革糾合の「オール沖縄」勢力の支援を受ける。自民党県連は４年前の前回選挙と同様に佐喜真淳・前宜野湾市長の擁立を決めており、２回連続で同じ対決構図となる。
　知事選は玉城氏の任期満了に伴い、「８月２５日告示、９月１１日投開票」の日程で行われる。（2022/06/11-18:04）

Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki on Saturday announced his intention to run for reelection in the southernmost Japan prefecture's gubernatorial poll in September.
   He told a news conference in Naha, the capital of Okinawa, the same day that it is "utterly unacceptable" to build a replacement facility with new functions for relocating the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma air station in the Okinawa city of Ginowan to the Henoko coastal district in Nago, another city in the prefecture.
   The Japanese government and ruling bloc are adhering to the relocation plan, which is expected to be the biggest campaign issue in the upcoming election.
   Tamaki will be supported by the All Okinawa group, comprising both conservatives and reformists, during his election campaign.
   The ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Okinawa prefectural chapter has decided to field former Ginowan Mayor Atsushi Sakima as it did in the previous gubernatorial race four years ago.
