Sunday’s Yokohama mayoral election pits incumbent Mayor Takeharu Yamanaka against six challengers in a snap election called after he was forced to resign last month over?a power harassment scandal.

While the main issue is whether voters in 91AV原创 second largest metropolis of about 3.75 million people have forgiven Yamanaka enough to reelect him, lurking in the background is the subject of a possible integrated casino resort.

While Yamanaka promised to change the behavior that led to his resignation, he apparently rekindled the question of attracting a casino, saying he was continuing to oppose the project.
