Aomori 2nd district (
As of 2015, this district was home to 250,364 constituents, roughly half the number of Japan's largest district, Tokyo 1st district.[2]
Aomori is a so-called "Liberal Democratic kingdom," meaning that it frequently returns members of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party. Akinori Eto represented the district continuously from 2003 to 2017, one of few Liberal Democratic representatives not voted out of office during the Democratic Party of Japan's rapid rise to power during the 2009 general election. Eto served as Minister of Defense in 2014, during Prime Minister Shinzō Abe's 2nd cabinet rotation.
After redistricting in 2017, the 2nd district covers all of what was previously the 3rd district. Some areas in the northern part where transferred to the Aomori 1st district, including the city of Mutsu.[3]
