翁長前知事の次男が出馬表明　自民、知念副市長を擁立―那覇市長選

　任期満了に伴う那覇市長選（１０月２３日投開票）で、元沖縄県議の翁長雄治氏（３５）が２４日、同市内で記者会見し、出馬する意向を表明した。米軍普天間飛行場（宜野湾市）の名護市辺野古移設に反対する「オール沖縄」陣営の出馬要請を受諾した。翁長氏は、前知事の故雄志氏（前那覇市長）の次男。
　一方、自民党は同日の選考委員会で、同市副市長、知念覚氏（５８）の擁立を全会一致で決めた。知念氏は雄志氏が市長時代、市長秘書などを務めていた側近。選考委で知念氏は、２５日告示される知事選（９月１１日投開票）で自民、公明両党が推し、辺野古移設を容認する前宜野湾市長の佐喜真淳氏（５８）を支援する考えを明言したという。現職の城間幹子氏は３選不出馬を表明している。（2022/08/24-19:41）

Takeharu Onaga, the second son of the late former Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga, on Wednesday announced his intention to run in the Naha mayoral election Oct. 23.
   Onaga, 35, a former assembly member of the southernmost Japan prefecture, accepted a request from the All Okinawa camp, which opposes the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma air station in Okinawa's Ginowan to the Henoko district in Nago, also Okinawa.
   His father, who died in 2018, once served as mayor of Naha, the prefecture's capital.
   Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's Liberal Democratic Party made a unanimous decision at a selection committee meeting Wednesday to field Satoru Chinen, 58, vice mayor of Naha, as the party's candidate in the mayoral election.
   Chinen was a close aide to Takeshi and served as secretary to him when the late politician was Naha mayor.
