Japanese Green Network “ECOLO Japan” officially supported the election campaign of their committee member, Mr. “Masa” Kato, who was running for the national election (held on August 30) for the Lower House in Japan.He ran from one constituency (electoral district) in Yokohama City, where he was living.
He has been contributed to advising our policy encyclopedia: “Green Sustainable Manifesto” of the group, as well as helped them greatly with our public actions to widely extend Green politics all over the country.
He was walking around the city area to talk about his Green philosophy and democratic policies: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”.
They started his supporting campaign, calling for donations, advertising his
personal achievements to the public.
As a result, unfortunately he could not win the seat, but got totally more than 20,000 votes (7.85%) in his own constituency of Yokohama
City, lanking the Nr. 3 position. Regarding ECOLO Japan, this is the first case we are involved in national election campaign. They hope that this time's trial could be the first step to found a genuine Green Movement all over the country.
