Fumio Kishida, the former Prime Minister of Japan, secured his 12th consecutive election victory in Hiroshima's 1st district, where he was one of seven candidates vying for the position. His well-known status as a former prime minister played a significant role in attracting not only the core supporters of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) but also a broader demographic, including independents. Kishida attributed his success to the overwhelming support he received and emphasized his commitment to steering Japanese politics in a definitive direction.

Throughout the election period, Kishida actively campaigned for other LDP candidates nationwide, showcasing his leadership and commitment to the party's success. In contrast, several local LDP candidates took on the task of rallying support in his absence, focusing on winning their constituencies. Kishida held personal speeches in towns such as Kaida and Sakata, where he urged voters to reclaim a political environment that decisively pushes forward with policies under Komeito’s leadership, reflecting his vision for governance.

On the opposite side of the political spectrum, candidates from centrist and leftist parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party and newcomers running as independents, struggled to gain traction and expand their support. Kishida's victory underscores the continued dominance of the LDP in Japanese politics, despite calls for reforms within the political landscape, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for opposing parties to regroup and strategize for future elections.
