千葉知事に熊谷氏再選 共産系、N党党首ら新人破る

 任期満了に伴う千葉県知事選は16日投開票され、無所属で現職の熊谷俊人氏(47)が、元衆院議員秘書の小倉正行氏(72)=共産推薦、政治団体「NHKから国民を守る党」党首の立花孝志氏(57)ら新人3人を破り、再選を果たした。投票率は31.93%で、前回(38.99%)を下回った。
 熊谷氏は自民、立憲民主、国民民主、公明各党と日本維新の会の5党の県組織から支持を受け、1期目の実績をアピール。成田空港機能強化を見据えた企業誘致や防災対策の強化を訴え、幅広い支持を得た。
 小倉氏は県の水道料金値上げ中止を掲げ、立花氏は兵庫県を中心に選挙活動し、斎藤元彦知事のパワハラ疑惑などを巡る告発文書問題で持論を展開。政治団体「つばさの党」代表の黒川敦彦氏(46)は経済活性化を主張したが、いずれも及ばなかった。(2025/03/17-00:31)
