A bill to limit the term of office of the Maebashi mayor to three consecutive terms or 12 years will be submitted.

Maebashi Mayor Ogawa Akira has decided to submit a bill to the city council in May to limit the term of office of the Maebashi mayor, including himself and his successor, to three consecutive terms or 12 years.
According to the city, Tokushima Prefecture, Yokohama City, and other cities around the country have enacted similar ordinances that stipulate self-restraint.
In the mayoral election in February when he was first elected, Mayor Ogawa pledged to submit the bill, in light of the series of bribery scandals during the previous mayor's third term.
