Hokkaidō 5th district (Hokkaidō [dai-]go-ku (北海道[第]5区)) is a constituency of theHouse of Representatives in theDiet of Japan. It consists ofAtsubetsu ward and a portion ofShiroishi ward inHokkaido's city ofSapporo andIshikari Subprefecture excluding Sapporo andIshikari city. As of 2009, 453,752 eligible voters were registered in the district.[2]
The district was created in the 1994 electoral reform from parts of the previous1st district where six representatives had been elected by single-non-transferable vote. Representatives from the old 1st district includedKingo Machimura and his sonNobutaka Machimura.
Nobutaka Machimura (LDP, Machimura faction) safely won the new 5th district in the 1996 election and defended it againstDemocratic challenger Chiyomi Kobayashi in subsequent elections. However, the Democratic Party won the general election of 2009 handily, and Kobayashi defeated Machimura by 30,000 votes. In response to a political funds scandal, she resigned in June 2010.[3] Machimura resigned from his seat in theHokkaidō proportional block to run in the resulting by-election in October 2010 and defeated former construction ministry bureaucrat Shigeyuki Nakamae by a clear margin to regain his district seat.[4]
In the24 April 2016 by-election, Machimura's son-in-law, Liberal Democrat Yoshiaki Wada (Kōmeitō, Kokoro, Daichi) defeated united opposition independent Maki Ikeda (DP, JCP, SDP, PLP).[5][6] Wada held the seat until he lost to Ikeda in the2024 election. Wada was accused of receiving 'dark money' in the2023–2024 Japanese slush fund scandal. Subsequently, the LDP did not allow Wada to run in theHokkaidō PR block and he lost his seat in the Diet.[7]
