This page contains the detailed results for the 2026 Japanese general election in the prefecture of Hokkaidō.

Within Hokkaido there is the prefecture-wide Hokkaido PR block which elects 8 members by party list proportional representation. In addition to the block seats, Hokkaidō has 12 constituencies each electing a single member each by first past the post.

Total results

Last election, in the constituency, LDP won only 3 seats, and CDP won 9 seats in a landslide. Even in Hokkaido, which has been called the "Kingdom of the Democratic Party" and has been a left-wing force since the time of JSP, LDP won 11 constituencies due to the high popularity of PM Takaichi, and CRA won only one constituency.[1]

LDP gain from Centrist Reform

Incumbent Daiki Michishita (CRA) succeeded to the constituency from Takahiro Yokomichi, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives. LDP nominated former Hokkaido Legislative Assembly member Takahiro Katō as its candidate. LDP won a seat in this constituency only once in the 2012 general election, originally in a district where the CRA was extremely dominant.

However, Katō gained momentum due to PM Takaichi's high popularity. In addition, DPP, which has the same RENGO as its support organization, nominated Hidetake Usuki (Rep for Hokkaido PR block) as Hokkaido 1st’s DPP candidate.

Michishita lost to Katō as a result of a series of headwinds. It is the first time since the 2012 general election that LDP has won a seat in the constituency. Usuki (DPP) won PR block seat for the second time.[4]

It was the third confrontation between Takagi (LDP) and Arai (CRA). In the last election, Takagi lost, and Arai, then a CDP member, won the seat. In this election, Takagi regained a seat in the wake of the national LDP's tailwind.[6]

LDP gain from Centrist Reform

In the last election, CDP's Kureha Otsuki took a seat from Hiroyuki Nakamura (LDP), and Nakamura won a seat in PR block. Later, Komeito’s Hidemichi Satō (Rep for Hokkaido PR block) announced his candidacy from this constituency in next general election, and Nakamura, who was originally in the constituency, would run from the PR block, making it a symbol of LDP-Komeito election cooperation.[7]

However, in October 2025, when Komeito dissolved its coalition with LDP and its election cooperation, Satō canceled his candidacy.[8]

Therefore, Nakamura will run as a candidate for LDP in the election. As a result, Nakamura won the last defeat against Otsuki and regained his seat.[9]

Including by-elections, it was the fifth confrontation between Yoshiaki Wada (LDP) and Makiko Ikeda (CRA). In the last election, Ikeda, a CDP member at that time, took a seat from Wada. In this election, Wada regained a seat from Ikeda.[10]

LDP gain from Centrist Reform

It was the second confrontation between Jun Mukōyama (LDP) and Seiji Osaka (CRA).

In this election, Jun Oizumi, mayor of Hakodate and older brother of Japanese famous actor Yo Oizumi, supported Mukōyama (LDP).

In April 2023, with the support of Osaka and endorsement of CDP, Oizumi was elected mayor of Hakodate by a landslide victory over a candidate endorsed by LDP-Komeito coalition. Oizumi's support for Mukoyama was surprising because he remained neutral in the last election.[13][14]

As a result of the election, Mukōyama took a seat from Osaka. This is the second time LDP has won a seat in the constituency since 2012 general election.[15]

It was the second confrontation between Hideki Matsushita (LDP) and Tatsumaru Yamaoka (CRA).

Matsushita, who lost to Yamaoka by a large margin in the last election, greatly increased his vote and defeated Yamaoka by about 8,000 votes after a close race. Defeated Yamaoka won a seat in the PR block.[16]

Centrist Reform hold

Originally, this constituency was contested by Komeito's Hisashi Inatsu and CDP member Hiroshi Kamiya.

In the last election, Kamiya beat Inatsu by about 3,000 votes to win a close race. With his participation in CRA, Kamiya turned to his opponents, Komeito and Komeito supporters.[17][18]

On the other hand, the LDP nominated Kōichi Watanabe, former mayor of Iwamizawa, as its candidate. Watanabe has run for the PR block alone four times in the past due to his cooperation with Inatsu.

In this election, Komeito and Inatsu, who were hostile to Kamiya, supported Kamiya. LDP's Hokkaido confederation declined a speech by PM Takaichi, who is unpopular among Komeito members, because it was a New Komeito constituency.

As a result, Kamiya won the close game by only 21 votes. Defeated Watanabe won the seat in the PR block. The constituency became the only constituency CRA won in the Hokkaido block.[19][20]

LDP gain from Centrist Reform

In the constituency, former rival wives fought three times. One was Yūko Nakagawa, wife of the late former Finance Minister Shōichi Nakagawa, and the other was Kaori Ishikawa, wife of former Representative Tomohiro Ishikawa, who was convicted of corruption and competed with Shōichi.

In the last election, Kaori, then a member of the CDP, won his third confrontation with Yuko to defend his seat.

In February 2025, Yūko declared that he would not run in the next general election.[21] In June 2025, LDP nominated Koichi Nakagawa, a former non-life insurance company employee and Shoichi's nephew, as its candidate.[22][23]

Sanseitō nominated Takashi Uto, a former member of the House of Councillors and a former member of the Air Self-Defense Force, as its candidate. When Uto was a member of the House of Councilors, he belonged to LDP, and after losing re-election in 2022 election, he defected to Sanseitō in 2025.

As a result, Koichi defeated Kaori to win his first election and regained the Nakagawa family's seat, which has continued since his grandfather, Ichiro Nakagawa.[24]
