Background
The commuter and industrial towns surrounding Nagoya have long been regarded as a bastion for anti-LDP forces and this district is no exception. The 7th district and its predecessors have continuously elected non-LDP members to the Diet. After the introduction of parallel voting and single-member districts in 1996, the district has only elected one LDP member, Junji Suzuki, who was elected in the LDP landslides of 2005, 2012, and 2021.[2]
