愛媛知事に中村氏４選　共産新人を破る

　任期満了に伴う愛媛県知事選は２０日に投開票が行われ、無所属現職の中村時広氏（６２）＝国民民主推薦＝が、共産党公認の新人で党県委員長の林紀子氏（６０）を破り、４選を果たした。投票率は３３．９５％で過去最低となった。
　中村氏は、西日本豪雨からの復興や人口減少対策に力を入れると強調。自民、立憲民主、公明、社民各党の県組織からも支援を受け、幅広い支持を集めた。林氏は四国電力伊方原発３号機（伊方町）の廃炉やジェンダー平等を訴えたが、及ばなかった。（2022/11/20-23:48）

Ehime Governor Tokihiro Nakamura clinched a fourth term in Sunday's gubernatorial election in the western Japan prefecture.
   Nakamura, 62, endorsed by the Democratic Party for the People, defeated his only challenger, Noriko Hayashi, 60, from the Japanese Communist Party.
   The election was held in line with the expiration of Nakamura's third term. Voter turnout came to a record low of 33.95 pct.
   During the campaign, Nakamura pledged to focus on reconstruction following a recent heavy rain disaster and measures against declining population.
   The incumbent was also supported by local chapters of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, Komeito, as well as that of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan.
