公明、都民ファが出馬要請　小池氏、２９日表明は見送りへ―都知事選

　任期満了に伴う東京都知事選（６月２０日告示、７月７日投開票）で、公明党と地域政党「都民ファーストの会」の都議会会派が２８日、小池百合子知事（７１）とそれぞれ面会し、出馬を要請した。これとは別に、自民党会派も面会し、協力関係を確認した。小池氏は立候補する意向をすでに固めているが、２９日の都議会定例会開会日での表明は見送る方向だ。
　冒頭が報道陣に公開された公明、都民ファとの面会で、小池氏は立候補要請に対して「重く受け止める」と双方に答えた。このほか、有志の都内市区町村長５２人の連名による出馬要請も受けた。（2024/05/28-16:33）

Komeito, the junior coalition partner of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and regional political party Tomin First no Kai (Tokyoites first group) on Tuesday asked Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike to seek another term in the upcoming Tokyo gubernatorial election.
   Koike met separately with Tokyo metropolitan assembly members from Komeito and Tomin First on the day, telling them that she took their requests seriously.
   The governor also had a meeting with assembly members from the LDP, and the two sides reaffirmed their cooperative relationship.
   In addition, she received a joint request from 52 municipal leaders in Tokyo to run in the July 7 election.
   Koike is believed to have already decided to run in the election, but she is expected to skip the official announcement of her candidacy on the first day of a metropolitan assembly session on Wednesday.
