Fukui at-large district (House of Representatives)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fukui at-large district (Japanese: 福井県全県区, Hepburn: Fukui-ken Zenken-ku) was a multi-member electoral district represented in the House of Representatives in the National Diet of Japan. From 1947 until 1993, it elected four representatives from Fukui Prefecture.

History

[edit]

In the 1947 Japanese general election, three of the four seats were won by the Democratic Party.[1] In 1949 all seats were won by the Democratic Party and Democratic Liberal Party, both of which would later merge into the Liberal Party.[1] After that party won all the seats in the 1952 Japanese general election, there would later be a trend in which conservative parties, including the Liberal Democratic Party, would win at least half of the district's seats.[1] Koshiro Ueki, who was part of the cabinet as Minister of Justice (1960–1962; 1971) and Minister of Finance (1972), was elected to the district in the 1952 election and would later be re-elected eight more times, before losing in the 1976 Japanese general election.[1] Due to the 1994 Japanese electoral reform, the at-large district was replaced with three single-member districts starting with the 1996 Japanese general election.[2]

At the time the Public Offices Election Law [ja] came into law in 1950, the district encompassed the entirely of Fukui Prefecture.[3]
