Osaka 7th district

Osaka 7th district

Ōsaka 7th district (大阪府第7区, Osaka-fu dai-nana-ku or simply 大阪7区, Ōsaka-nana-ku) is a single-member constituency of the House of Representatives in the national Diet of Japan. It is located in Northern central Ōsaka and covers the cities of Suita and Settsu. As of 2009, 350,423 eligible voters were registered in the district.[1]

Before the introduction of parallel voting and single-member districts, the area had been part of the five-member Ōsaka 3rd district.

The current Representative for Ōsaka 7th district is Osamu Fujimura, Chief Cabinet Secretary in the Noda cabinet. He had represented the pre-reform 3rd district for the Japan New Party since 1993 and won the new 7th district in 1996 and held onto the seat until the landslide election of 2005 when a newcomer in national politics, Liberal Democrat Naomi Tokashiki (Nukaga faction) beat him. Fujimura regained his district seat in 2009.
