At a press conference on the 9th, Governor Yamamoto indicated the possibility of postponing the decision on whether to run for a third term in the 2027 gubernatorial election by about a year from July this year. "It would be difficult to do my job if I make the decision two years before the end of my term," he said, but said he would maintain the basic policy he announced at a meeting of his supporters' association executives this summer. At this point, he said, "I'm wondering whether I should continue or cut it off at eight years."
