Fukuoka Governor Seitaro Hattori has expressed willingness to participate in a public debate ahead of the March gubernatorial election, calling it a valuable opportunity to present policies directly to voters. The proposal for the debate was initially suggested by lawyer Koichiro Yoshida, who announced his candidacy on February 19. Hattori stated during a February 25 press conference that he would consider participating if his official schedule allows. The election will be officially announced on March 6, with voting set for March 23. Source: NHK
