Kyoto 5th district

Kyōto 5th district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It is located in Kyōto and covers the northwestern part of the prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast. The district consists of the cities of Fukuchiyama, Maizuru, Ayabe, Miyazu and Kyōtango as well as the Yosa District. As of 2012, 254,636 eligible voters were registered in the district.^[1]

Before the electoral reform of 1994, the area was part of Kyōto 2nd district where five Representatives had been elected by single non-transferable vote.

The only Representative for the 5th district has been Sadakazu Tanigaki (LDP, Tanigaki→Koga faction) who had previously represented the old 2nd district since his father's death in 1983. In 2009, the 5th district was the only district in Kyōto the LDP could defend against the landslide for Yukio Hatoyama's Democratic Party. Tanigaki's Democratic challenger Mai Ohara lost the district by 7,000 votes but easily won a seat on the Kinki PR list. After the election that swept the LDP from power, Tanigaki was elected LDP president. During his term the opposition won a majority in the 2010 House of Councillors election. After one term, he did not run for re-election as party president. In the 2012 House of Representatives election that brought devastating results for the Democratic Party at record low turnout nationwide, Tanigaki lost only few votes and clearly defended his district seat.
